A westbound section of freeway currently has three 12-ft wide lanes, a 6-ft right shoulder, and no ramps within 3 miles upstream

and downstream of the segment midpoint. It is on rolling terrain with 10% heavy vehicles and is operating at capacity with a peak-hour factor of 0.900. If the road is expanded to four 11-ft lanes with a 2-ft right shoulder, and traffic after the expansion is projected to increase by 10% with the same heavy vehicle percentage and peak hour factor, what is the new LOS and estimated density?
