Introduction

Executive Summary

Site Plan

Land use, site and study area boundaries and driveways.

Area of influence includes adjacent interchanges & intersections

Depending on the anticipated number of trips generated by the site, all roadways within a radius of X miles must be included in the analysis.Include all roadways where projected site traffic is equal to or greater than X percent of the maximum service volume at the adopted LOS standard for the facility. Refer to guidelines.

Phasing and Timing

Existing and Anticipated Land Use

Existing land use on both sides of boundary streets for all parcels within the study area .Proposed land use on both sides of boundary streets for all parcels within the study area .

Existing and Future Roadway System

Includes all major driveways and intersecting streets adjacent to the proposed development.Aerial photograph showing the study area.

Site Generated Traffic

The trip generation summary table lists each type of land use showing : Land use ITE code,Description,Trip generation rates (Average Rate or Regression Line per guideline), Unit Type (size, dwelling units,etc.) AM and PM peak generated Traffic. Copy of Applicable ITE pages in Appendix.

Trip Distribution

Provide the estimates of percentage distribution of trips by turning movements to and from the proposed development by site access location (provide table and figure).

Trip Assignment

Provide the direction of approach and departure of site traffic via the area's roadway system (provide figure by site entrance and boundary street).

Non-Site Traffic

Projected traffic volumes (provide figure) for A.M. street peak hour site traffic (including turning movements). Projected traffic volumes (provide figure) for P.M. street peak hour site traffic (including turning movements).

Total Traffic

Projected traffic volumes (provide figure) for A.M. street peak hour total traffic including site generated traffic and projected traffic (including turning movements). Projected traffic volumes (provide figure) for P.M. street peak hour total traffic including site generated traffic and projected traffic (including turning movements). Projected traffic volumes (provide figure) during special situations where peak traffic typically occurs at non-traditional times, e.g., major sporting venues, large specialty Christmas stores, etc., any otherpeak hour necessary for complete analysis (including turning movements).

Site Access

Access Mangement Manual

Auxiliary Lane Analysis

Sight Distance analysis

Capacity Analysis

Capacity analysis will follow the principles established in the latest edition of the Transportation Research Board's Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Capacity will be reported in quantitative terms as expressed in the HCM and in terms of traffic level of service based on control delay by movement or lane group. A capacity analysis is required for non-boundary streets within the study area for existing conditions, intermediate and final phase.Capacity analysis will include traffic queuing estimates for all critical applications where the length of queues is a design parameter, e.g., auxiliary turn lanes, and at traffic gates.

Level of Service Analysis

For all Signlized and Unsignlized intersections within study limit.

Roadway Improvements

Driveway Operational Analysis

Alternate Modes

Generated vehicular trip estimates may be discounted in recognition of other reasonable and applicable modes, e.g., transit, pedestrian, bicycles. Furthermore, trip generation estimates may also be discounted through the recognition of pass by trips and internal site trip satisfaction.

Mitigation

If the proposed development and its generated traffic cause a reduction in the level of service for any roadway or intersection within the impact area ,the proposed development will be denied unless the levels of service for all roadways and intersections within the traffic impact analysis study are adequate to accommodate the impacts of such development. Typically LOS D or better can be used for the threshold.
