A new section of richmod highway is being designed as a six-lane facility (three in each direction) with a two-way, left-turn lane. Determine the peak hour LOS.

Traffic data:

Directional design hourly volume = 3600 veh/h

PHF = 0.94

Assumed base free flow speed = 55mi/h

Geometric data:

Urban setting

Rolling terrain

Lane width = 11ft

Shoulders widths = 4ft(right side) and 1ft(left side)

Average access point spacing = 12points per mile on each
