An existing Class III two-lane highway is to be analyzed to determine the level of service in each direction given the following information:

Peak hourly volume in the analysis direction: 900 veh/h
Peak hourly volume in the opposing direction: 720 veh/h
Trucks: 10% of total volume
Recreational vehicles: 2% of total volume
PHF: 0.94
Lane width: 12 ft
Shoulder width: 2 ft
Access points per mile: 30
Terrain: level
Measured free flow speed: 45 mi/h
No passing zones: 60% of analysis segment length

What will be an ideal response?




Step 1: Estimate heavy vehicle adjustment factor, use Equation 9.11:





Step 3: Estimate ATS. Use Equation 9.13. Adjustment factors for no-passing

zones interpolated from Table 9.20.
