Noneof the intersections studied exceeded this safety threshold. Additional crash analysis data islocated in Appendix A.2.04 FUTURE LAND USE AND TRAFFIC FORECASTINGThe Kentuckiana Regional Planning and Development Agency (KIPDA) is the MetropolitanPlanning Organization (MPO) for the Louisville, Kentucky area, which includes Floyd County,Indiana. As a MPO, KIPDA has developed a travel demand model for the major roadways in theLouisville metropolitan area. To project future traffic, this demand model includes forecasted futureland uses in the Louisville metropolitan area. Using these models KIPDA provided projected 2030Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) for all the major roadways in the three study areas. Severalof the minor approaches at the study intersections are not included in the KIPDA demand models.The future traffic volume for these approaches was estimated by averaging the growth of theknown approaches at the intersections and then applying the calculated growth factor to thecurrent estimated approach AADT’s to generate future AADT’s. Figure 2.04-1 shows the currentand KIPDA projected AADT’s in the study areas. The KIPDA AADT’s were used to develop growthfactors for the turning movement data collected. These growth factors were applied to the 2007turning movements to determine estimated 2030 turning movement volumes. The original turningmovement data, traffic growth factors, and projected 2030 turning movements are located inAppendix A.Prepared by Strand Associates, Inc. ® 2-15KRH:pll\S:\@SIECO\001--050\046\008\Wrd\Thoroughfare Plan\Draft 07-19-07\S2-Needs Identification 07-19-07.doc\072007
