Traffic Impact Study 07 21 2025 submission

Traffic Impact Study Proposed Automotive Service and Retail Center – West Orange, NJ Passby Traffic According to studies conducted by ITE, traffic associated with LUC 848 is not 100% newly generated. Rather, a portion of the traffic is diverted from the existing traffic stream on the adjacent roadway network. This is because the Mavis Tire store is not exclusively a destination land use, instead patrons stop on their way to/from other locations such as home or work. ITE identifies a 25% passby traffic percentage for the evening peak hour. It should be noted that there will realistically be passby traffic during the weekday morning and Saturday midday peak periods as well even though there is no data published by ITE, however conservatively no credit was taken for this effect. Table 4 below details the traffic volumes associated with the subject project taking into account the passby credits. Table 4 Trip Generation Considering Passby Traffic AM PSH PM PSH SAT PSH Land Use Trip Type In Out Total In Out Total In Out Total Total 12 6 18 11 15 26 16 19 35 6,952 SF Passby - - - 3 4 7 - - - Mavis Tire New (Primary) 12 6 18 8 11 19 16 19 35 As can be seen above, the proposed site is projected to generate 18 trips during the weekday morning peak hour, 19 trips during the weekday evening peak hour, and 35 trips during the midday Saturday peak hour. It should be noted that the number of new trips falls below the industry accepted standard of a significant increase in traffic of 50 trips. Based on Transportation Impact Analysis for Site Development, published by the ITE “it is suggested that a transportation impact study be conducted whenever a proposed development will generate 50 or more added (new) trips during the adjacent

elopment, published by the ITE “it is suggested that a transportation impact study be conducted whenever a proposed development will generate 50 or more added (new) trips during the adjacent roadways’ peak hour or the development’s peak hour.” As such, it is not anticipated that the change in use will result in a significant degradation of operating conditions. Trip Generation Comparison As previously noted, the site is currently occupied by an office building which has an existing trip generation. Trip generation projections for the office building were prepared utilizing trip generation research data as published under Land Use Code 712 – Small Office Building in the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) publication, Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition. The table below provides a comparison between the trips associated with the existing site and the trips projected for the proposed redevelopment.

As such, the Saturday trip generation data for LUC 710 – General Office Building was utilized. Page 6
