2022 10 21 Traffic Impact Study

Traffic Impact Study Proposed Popeye’s & Fast Food Restaurant – West Orange As mentioned previously, the site is currently developed with a vacated restaurant which has trip generation potential if re-occupied. Therefore, ITE data for LUC 932 – High-Turnover (Sit-Down) Restaurant was utilized to project the trip generation associated with the potential re-occupation of the existing use. The following Table IV compares the trips associated with the proposed use to the existing trip generation potential of the site.

However, no credit was taken for the potential use of the site and all trip generation was considered an increase over vacant land. This accounts for a “worst case scenario” from a traffic impact perspective. Once the magnitude of traffic to

tial use of the site and all trip generation was considered an increase over vacant land. This accounts for a “worst case scenario” from a traffic impact perspective. Once the magnitude of traffic to be generated by the site is known, it is necessary to assign that traffic to the adjacent street system. The distribution of new traffic to the surrounding roadways is based on the location of primary arterial roadways, major signalized intersections and existing traffic patterns. Located in Appendix A, Figure 5 illustrates the percent distribution of primary site generated trips, Figure 6 illustrates the primary site generate volumes, Figure 7 illustrates the distribution of passby site generated trips, Figure 8 illustrates the passby site generated volumes, and Figure 9 illustrates the total site generated volumes assigned to the study area network. The site generated volumes were added to the No Build traffic volumes to generate the Build traffic volumes, shown in Figure 10. Future Capacity Analysis Operational conditions at the study intersections were analyzed under the No Build and Build conditions and are summarized in Table V below. Page 6
