a. Maximum hour c. Traffic hour

b. Peak hour d. Service hour

21-25. Factors affecting the maximum flow of a given highway segment.

15. Lane Width

16. Lateral Obstruction
17. Traffic Composition
18. Grade
19. Speed & Space mean speed
20. Driver Population

For narrower lanes, the base free-flow speed is reduced by what adjustment factor.

a. Lane Width Adjustmentc. Adjustment for Number of Lanes

b. Lateral Clearance Adjustment d. Interchange Density Adjustment

It is the adjustment factor that affects Free-flow speed on one direction of the road with regards to its no.
Of lanes.

a. Lane Width Adjustmentc. Adjustment for Number of Lanes

b. Lateral Clearance Adjustment d. Interchange Density Adjustment

It is defined as the average number of interchanges per mile over a six-mile section of the facility that
affects the speed flow.

a. Lane Width Adjustmentc. Adjustment for Number of Lanes

b. Lateral Clearance Adjustmentd. Interchange Density Adjustment

The adjustment thatreduces the free-flow speed of a multi-lane highway by 1.6 mi/h aundivided median.

a. Lane Width Adjustmentc. Adjustment for Number of Lanes

b. Lateral Clearance Adjustmentd. Median-Type Adjustment

This factor is used to adjust for lane widths less than 12 ft and/or lateral clearance less than 6 ft.

a. Restricted Lane Widthc. Heavy Vehicle Adjustment Factor

b. Lateral Clearance Adjustment d. Median-Type Adjustment

The factor that is based upon the concept of passenger-car equivalents. A passenger-car equivalent is the
number of passenger cars displaced by one truck, bus, or RV in a given traffic stream under prevailing
conditions.

a. Restricted Lane Width c. Heavy Vehicle Adjustment Factor

b. Lateral Clearance Adjustment d. Median-Type Adjustment
