Question: Q . 6 : A six - lane divided highway ( three lanes in each direction ) is on rolling terrain with 1 . 2

Q.6: A six-lane divided highway (three lanes in each direction) is on rolling terrain with 1.2 Access points
per km and has 3m lanes, with a 1.5m shoulder on the right side and a 0.9m shoulder on the left side. The
peak hour factor is 0.80, and the directional peak-hour volume is 3000 vehicles per hour. There are 6% large

in the traffic stream (the driver population adjustment factor is estimated as 0.95). The posted speed limit is
90kmh. A local manufacturer wishes to open a factory near the section of the highway. How many large
trucks can be added to the peak hour directional volume before capacity is reached? (Assume PHF constant)
