A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) has regular weekday users and currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. The lanes are \( 11 \mathrm{ft} \) wide, the right-side shoulder is \( 6 \mathrm{ft} \) wide, and there are three ramps every five miles. The highway is on level terrain with \( 15 \% \) large trucks and buses (no recreational vehicles), and the peak-hour factor is \( 0.88 \). Determine the hourly volume under these conditions.
