[edit] ExpertVerify Tag

I've put this tag on because of concerns that the article has some factual errors and oversimplifies things. Additionally, I think the article ought to contain information such as what sorts of facilities have LOS measures defined, what the raw data used to defined LOS is (average travel speed and percent time spent following for a 2-Lane-2-Way rural road, average control delay for a stoplight, etc.), a more informative segment on planning for LOS B or C, information on the disagreement over whether the D/E threshhold or the E/F threshhold is failure, and if we can find it, the edition of the HCM for which each LOS measure was introduced. For that matter, I think it should mention the Highway Capacity manual somewhere... and since that's a U.S. document, it'd be good to know if LOS is used outside the United States or (if it isn't) what's used instead. I won't have access to an HCM or a good textbook for at least another week and half, if not most of a month; if nobody's done it by then, I'll do it, but if someone can get started in the meantime, that'd be good.
