Sub-problem 2b: Analysis of the Center Section of Krome Avenue (Class I or II Two-lane Highway)
Step 1. Setup
In this problem we will perform a planning analysis on the center section of Krome Avenue. In this section of Krome Avenue, the roadway has characteristics of both a Class I and a Class II facility. Since HCM Exhibit 12-15 provides an estimate only for Class I Facilities, we will have to rely on another method to analyze this segment. How do you think the speed of the roadway (5 mph lower than the northern section) and the volume (higher than the northern segment) will affect the operations along this segment?
