A divided four-lane multilane highway (two lanes in each direction) is on rolling terrain and has a speed limit of 60 mi/h. The highway has 11.7-ft lanes and 4-ft right-side and left-side shoulders. The frequency of access points along the road is 15 per mile. The directional peak-hour traffic volume is 2,400 vehicles, with 11% heavy vehicles. The peak-hour factor is 0.95. It has been decided that heavy vehicles will be banned from this highway during the peak hour. What will the density and LOS be before and after the heavy vehicle ban? (Assume that the heavy vehicles are removed from the traffic stream, while all other traffic attributes remain unchanged.)
