Traffic Report

Scope of Study Langan undertook the following steps to prepare this study in accordance with standard traffic engineering methodologies: 1. Conducted a field examination of the site and surrounding road network to inventory physical and regulatory conditions including the number of lanes, lane assignments, channelization, traffic-control devices, lateral clearances and other factors that limit traffic capacity. 2. Conducted a series of turning movement traffic counts at intersections in the study area. We obtained counts on a typical weekday from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. We then identified the existing weekday morning and evening peak hour traffic volumes based on the traffic count data. 3. Established 2027 Existing traffic volumes using the turning movement traffic counts. 4. Established 2027 No-Build traffic volumes by applying the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Essex County growth factor of 1.75 percent per year to the existing traffic volumes. 5. Prepared trip estimates for the development for the proposed residential based data published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. . 6. Developed trip distribution for the project based on existing and expected travel patterns, demographic data, and a review of the November 18 TIS by Lublanecki Engineering, Inc. 7. Assigned site-generated trips to the development access roads and surrounding road network based on the likely travel routes motorists will use to travel to and from the development. 8. Established future 2027 Build traffic volumes by adding the total site-generated trips to the 2027 No-Build traffic volumes. 9. Performed intersection capacity analyses for the weekday morning and evening peak hours using Synchro software. 10. Reviewed the site plan for parking and on-site circulation. 5
