Traffic Impact Study Proposed Popeye’s & Fast Food Restaurant – West Orange INTRODUCTION It is proposed to construct a 2,525 SF Popeye’s fast food restaurant with drive-thru and a 1,616 SF Sonic fast food restaurant with drive-thru on a parcel of land located along the south side of Eagle Rock Avenue just east of Rosney Terrace in the Township of West Orange, Essex County, New Jersey, see Figure 1, in Appendix A. The site is designated as Block 153 – Lot 38 on the Township Tax Maps. The site is currently developed with a vacated restaurant known as “China Gourmet”. Access to the site is currently provided via two (2) full movement driveways along Eagle Rock Avenue. It is proposed to re-construct the existing driveways to provide one (1) full movement driveway and one (1) full movement ingress/right turn egress driveway along Eagle Rock Avenue. Parking will be provided via twenty-seven (27) on-site parking spaces. Dynamic Traffic, LLC has been retained to prepare this study to assess the traffic impact associated with the construction of The Project on the adjacent roadway network. This study documents the methodology, analyses, findings and conclusions of our study and includes: • A detailed field inspection was conducted to obtain an inventory of existing roadway geometry, traffic control, and location and geometry of existing driveways and intersections. • Existing traffic data was collected via manual turning movement (MTM) counts during the weekday PM and Saturday midday peak periods at the intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue with Rosney Terrace/the Mayfield Driveway. • Projections of traffic to be generated by the proposed development were prepared utilizing trip generation data as published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Site traffic was then assigned to the adjacent street system based upon the anticipated directional distribution. • Capacity analyses were conducted for the Existing, No Build, and Build conditions for the study intersections. • The proposed points of ingress and egress were inspected for adequacy of geometric design, spacing and/or alignment to streets and driveways on the opposite side of the street, relationship to other driveways adjacent to the

ess were inspected for adequacy of geometric design, spacing and/or alignment to streets and driveways on the opposite side of the street, relationship to other driveways adjacent to the development, and conformance with accepted design standards. • The site plan as designed was reviewed for sufficiency in accommodating large wheel base vehicles such as delivery trucks, refuse trucks, and emergency vehicles. • The parking layout and supply was assessed based on accepted design standards and demand experienced at similar developments.
