Question 1. A four-lane freeway (two lanes in each direction) is on rolling terrain with 11- ft lanes, a 5-ft right-side shoulder, interchange (or ramp) spacing of one every 10 miles , and a \(60-\mathrm{mi}/\mathrm{h}\) base free-flow speed. During the peak hour, there are \(12\%\) large trucks and buses and no recreational vehicles. The peak-hour factor is 0.88 and the driver population adjustment is determined to be 0.90(which means that drivers are mostly familiar with the roadway). The freeway currently operates at capacity during the peak hour, in the direction in question. If an additional 11-ft lane is added (each direction), and all other factors stay the same, what will be the new level of service?
