In the commonly used six-level system for uninterrupted traffic facilities, Level of Service E represents a condition that is:
Correct answer: A. At or near the facility's capacity
- A. At or near the facility's capacity
- B. Free flowing with very low interaction
- C. Stable with considerable operating freedom
- D. Forced flow with frequent breakdowns
Explanation
Level of Service E indicates operation at or close to capacity, where small disturbances can produce congestion. Level F describes breakdown or forced flow, while Level A represents free-flow conditions.

About Transportation Engineering
Transportation engineering covers highway planning and alignment, traffic studies, road geometric design, pavement materials and flexible or rigid pavement construction. It also includes railway, airport and traffic engineering concepts such as sight distance, superelevation, signals, capacity and level of service, distinguishing pavement failure from poor geometric design.
