What is Traffic Impact Analysis?
►Traffic impact analysis is used to measure the
magnitude of a proposed development’s s anticipated
burden to the community’s s transportation
infrastructure.
►Traffic impacts are typically measured in relation to
level-of
of-service (LOS).

Why Perform Traffic Impact Analysis?
►Facilitate planning efforts
►Ensure that growth does not overcome the ability of
the transportation network to serve such growth
►New development can severely impair the
performance of the transportation network
►Need to address planning considerations for both
short and long range traffic mitigation strategies
