Training
Provided by Last Minute Training
Development or redevelopment of any parcel of land creates changes in traffic patterns on streets providing access to the development. This course discusses techniques for estimating the magnitudes of these changes and methods of measuring their impact on existing traffic operation.
In many cases, existing streets and intersections have sufficient capacity to accommodate increased traffic demand from adjacent development. Where level of service is significantly affected, however, mitigating measures such as street widening, the addition of auxiliary lanes, signalization or modification of existing signal patterns and controls on access must be considered. The course reviews the application of standards and techniques to produce acceptable resolutions to traffic impact problems.
In addition to the process of managing traffic impact, the course also touches on the roles of the developer, the consultant and the approving authority, and reviews the approval process. The course assists individual practitioners to understand the process and to apply this knowledge to reach mutually acceptable solutions to traffic impact problems.
The course relies on actual case studies to illustrate the application of methods and techniques. The case studies include both residential and commercial development.
