Sub-problem 2a: Analysis of the North Section of Krome Avenue (Class I Two-Lane Highway)
Step 1. Setup
In this problem we will perform a planning analysis on the north section of Krome Avenue, treating the road segment as a two-lane highway. There are several assumptions that must be made in order to determine the operational characteristics of the roadway, even on a planning level. Because of these assumptions, and also in part due to the general categorization of the the roadways, this planning analysis will need to be further refined as the information becomes available.
Consider the following questions:
-
What information is gained by performing a planning analysis?
-
What assumptions are used in the service volume tables?
-
What level of confidence do the results carry?
