Traffic impact analysis (TIA) is a powerful tool for planners to determine the possible effects of any project on the transportation and traffic system. Often it is applied only to the direct impact area and countermeasures for potential negative impacts are specific for the development. TIA is performed to assess the adequacy of the existing or future transportation infrastructure to accommodate additional trips generated by a proposed development, redevelopment or land rezoning.
A TIA should answer the following fundamental questions:
• What are the existing traffic conditions, the expected future traffic conditions without the development, and the expected future traffic conditions with the development in place for all roadway users?
• Can the existing and planned multimodal transportation system accommodate the additional traffic generated by the planned development?
• Are there additional transportation needs, beyond those already programmed or included in the local transportation plan, required to maintain a satisfactory level of service (LOS)?
• What are the recommended roadway improvements that may be necessary to accommodate the expected development traffic?
