Show all pagesTraffic Impact Study Proposed Popeye’s & Fast Food Restaurant – West Orange 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/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 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/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 years (4) years and two (2) years, 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 2024 traffic counts as summarized in Table 1 below. Table 1 Traffic Count Comparison Eagle Rock Ave Peak Hour Traffic Volume Location Date As-Counted With Background Growth AM PM SAT AM PM SAT Eagle Rock Avenue and May 2021 N/A 948 914 N/A 1,006 970 Rosney Terrace/Mayfair

However, the historical June 2023 counts grown to the current year were found to be higher than the current traffic volumes during the Saturday midday peak hour. Therefore, the April 2024 traffic volumes were utilized in the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hour analyses, while the June 2023 traffic volumes grown to the current year were utilized in the Saturday midday peak hour analysis. Additional MTM counts were conducted on Tuesday, November 18, 2025 between 7:00 – 9:00 AM and between 4:00 – 6:30 PM and on Saturday, November 8, 2025 between 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM at the intersections of Eagle Rock Avenue and Woodhull Avenue/ Whole Foods Driveway and Eagle Rock Avenue and Prospect Avenue.
