Note:
Maximum densities for LOS E occur at v/c ratio of 1.0. They are 25, 26, 27 and 28 pc/km/ln at FFS of 100, 90, 80 and 70
km/h, respectively. Capacity is 2200, 2100, 2000 and 1900 pc/h/ln at FFS of 100, 90, 80 and 70 km/h, respectively.
APPENDIX
A-18
Note:
Capacity varies by free-flow speed. Capacity is 2400, 2350, 2300 and 2250 pc/h/ln at free-flow speeds of 120, 110, 100 and
90 km/h, respectively.
