N2  - Uninterrupted flow exists in its purest form on freeways. On these facilities, all entering  and exiting vehicles do so by high speed ramps designed to minimize the disruption to the  through vehicle traffic stream. There is no direct access to any land parcel, and there are no  fixed causes of interruption to traffic external to the traffic stream which means there are no  traffic signals, stop signs or at-grade intersections which ultimately affect the free flow speed  thereby affecting the capacity and the level of service of the basic freeway segment under  study. Level of service measures the working conditions within a stream of traffic thereby  denoting the drivers insight of those conditions. Level of service on a basic freeway segment  is defined by density of the traffic flow. In this research, the process to determine the level  of service is described in detail by using the methodology of the Highway Capacity Manual  2010. Fully automated MS Excel worksheets were developed to facilitate the sensitivity of  the parameters that affects a basic freeway segment by testing the given examples in the  Highway Capacity Manual; since the Transportation Research Board does not endorse any  commercial software to do the same.
