A given sidewalk segment has a peak 15-min pedestrian flow of 1,000. The 15-ft sidewalk has a curb on one side and a 2-ft thick line of trees on the other side. There are no other sidewalk obstructions. At what LOS does the sidewalk operate, on the average and within platoons? LOS A BCDEF C F EXHIBIT 18-3.
