Q4. A rural freeway has two 3.6 m lanes in each direction and a traffic
stream composed with trucks and buses. This is a section upgrade on
freeway facility and there are no lateral obstructions. Inter-changes are
approximately 3 km apart. The adjustment factor for the character of the
traffic stream is 0.90. Determine the level of service.
