   Estimate the theoretical capacity of a traffic lane with traffic flow stream speed of 50 kmph (take average centre to centre spacing of vehicles as 10 m)

   1. 500 vehicles /hour/lane
   2. 5000 vehicles /hour/lane
   3. 3000 vehicles /hour/lane
   4. 300 vehicles /hour/lane
   Show answer

   Answer: (2) 5000 vehicles /hour/lane

   Theoretical capacity C = 1000 V/S, with V in kmph and spacing S in m. C = 1000 × 50/10 = 5000 vehicles/hour/lane.
