Question: An urban freeway is to be designed using the following information. AADT = 5 2 , 1 0 0 v e h ? day K

An urban freeway is to be designed using the following information.
AADT =52,100veh? day
K (proportion of AADT occurring during the peak hour): 0.11
D(proportion of peak hour traffic traveling in the peak direction): ,0.65
Trucks: ,8% of peak hour volume
PHF =0.96
Lane width: 12ft
Shoulder width: ,10ft
Total ramp density: ,0.5 interchange/mile; all interchanges are to be cloverleaf interchanges
Terrain: rolling
Determine the number of lanes in the peak direction required to provide LOS C.(Assume commuter traffic and assume no RVs.)
