A long section of suburban freeway is to be designed

on level terrain. A level section of 5 miles is,

however, followed by a 5% grade, 1.5 mi in length.
If the DDHV is 2,500 vehk with 10% trucks and
3% RV’s, how many lanes will be needed on the (a)
upgrade, (b) downgrade, and (c) level terrain section
to provide for a minimum of level of service
C? Assume that base conditions of lane width and
lateral clearance exist and that interchange density
is less than OSO/mi. The PHF = 0.92.
