The results of these analyses are presented in Table 2a-4. Although the levels of service don’t indicate a significant effect, an examination of the densities and speeds measures more clearly demonstrates the impacts of PHF and free flow speed. The results clear show that as the peak hour factor increases the density of traffic in the weaving segment decreases and the speeds increase. The results also indicate that as the free flow speed is increased the densities decrease and the speeds increase. These trends are illustrated in Figure 5.
