6.15 A multilane highway has four lanes (two lanes in each direction) and a measured free-flow speed of 55 mi/h. One upgrade is 5% and is 0.62 mi long. Currently trucks are not permitted on the highway, but there are 2% buses (no recreational vehicles) in the directional peak-hour volume of 1900 vehicles (the peak-hour factor is 0.80). Local authorities are considering allowing trucks on this upgrade. If this is done, they estimate that 150 large trucks will use the highway during the peak hour. What would be the level of service before and after the trucks are allowed (assuming the driver population adjustment to be 1.0 before and 0.97 after)
