    • Level C (More Restrictions): More restrictions than Level B, tension noticeable.
    • Level D (Unstable Flow): Approaching unstable conditions, little freedom to maneuver.
    • Level E (Unstable Flow): Maneuverability is extremely limited.
    • Level F (Congested Flow): Road segment used above designed capacity.

    Factors Affecting Capacity and Level of Service
