The HCM method estimated the highway capacity base on the speed-flow relationship in the ideal conditions and other data collected in many state highways in the US, which support to define the capacity in conjunction with the level of services that a road or a highway facilities will adapt or could serve in the specific conditions of traffic, terrain, and geometry. In order to define the level of services and estimate the capacity of a specific roadway, the traffic and infrastructure data collection will be implemented firstly, then the highway will be divided by the sub-sections which have typical characteristics to estimate the capacity. This paper describes the data collection in the section of KM 55+582 to KM77+830 of National Highway 5 and briefs the analysis and estimation the capacity and level of services of study section base on the Highway Capacity Manual approach and recommends the improvement solutions.
