Traffic Impact Study Proposed Popeye’s & Fast Food Restaurant – West Orange EXISTING CONDITIONS A review of the existing roadway conditions near the proposed site was conducted to provide the basis for assessing the traffic impact of the development. This included field investigations of the surrounding roadways and intersections, collection of traffic volume data, and extensive analyses. Existing Roadway Conditions The following are descriptions of the roadways in the study area: Eagle Rock Avenue (CR 611) is an Urban Minor Arterial roadway under the jurisdiction of Essex County. In the vicinity of the site the posted speed limit is 35 MPH and the roadway provides two travel lanes in each direction with a general east/west orientation. Curb is provided along both sides of the roadway and sidewalk is provided along the south side of the roadway. Eagle Rock Avenue provides a curved horizontal alignment and a rolling vertical alignment. The land uses along Eagle Rock Avenue in the vicinity of The Project are primarily commercial to the east and primarily residential to the west. Rosney Terrace is a local roadway under the jurisdiction of the Township of West Orange. In the vicinity of the site the posted speed limit is 25 MPH and the roadway provides one travel lane in each direction with a general north/south orientation. Curb is provided along both sides of the roadway while sidewalk is not provided along either side of the roadway. Rosney Terrace provides a straight horizontal alignment and an uphill vertical alignment from south to north. The land uses along Rosney Terrace in the vicinity of The Project are primarily residential. Existing Traffic Volumes Manual turning movement (MTM) counts were originally conducted on Saturday, May 22, 2021 between 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM and on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 between 4:30 – 6:30 PM at the intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue and Rosney Terrace/the Mayfair Farms Driveway. It should be noted that traffic impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may have still been in effect as of the time of the traffic counts. As a result, the collected traffic volumes on the surrounding roadways may not be representative of “existing” traffic conditions. Therefore, historical traffic volume data has been reviewed and compared with

ult, the collected traffic volumes on the surrounding roadways may not be representative of “existing” traffic conditions. Therefore, historical traffic volume data has been reviewed and compared with current traffic conditions. Additional MTM counts were conducted on Tuesday, June 13, 2023 between 7:00 – 9:00 AM and between 4:30 – 6:30 PM, on Saturday, June 17, 2023 between 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM, on Tuesday, April 16, 2024 between 4:30 – 6:30 PM and on Saturday, April 20, 2024 between 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM at the intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue and Rosney Terrace/the Mayfair Farms Driveway. The 2021 and 2023 counts were increased to better represent existing 2024 traffic volumes by applying a growth rate of 2% per year obtained from the NJDOT Annual Background Growth Rate Table for April 2019 – April 2021, which remained in effect until November 2023, for a period of three (3) years and one (1) year, respectively. It should be noted that the current NJDOT Annual Background Growth Rate Table utilizes a growth rate of 1.75% for the study roadways; however, in an effort to remain conservative, the previous growth rate of 2% was utilized. The grown 2021 and 2023 traffic volumes were then compared to the current 2024 traffic counts as summarized in Table 1 below. Page 2
