Traffic Impact Study Proposed Popeye’s & Fast Food Restaurant – West Orange According to studies conducted by ITE, traffic associated with LUCs 932 and 934 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 Popeye’s and IHOP restaurants are not destination land uses, instead patrons stop on their way to/from other locations such as home or work. For LUC 932, ITE identifies a 43% passby traffic percentage during the PM peak hours, which is also accepted by NJDOT. It should be noted that a portion of traffic during the AM and Saturday midday peak hours is also anticipated to be passby traffic; however, this effect has not been accounted for to remain conservative. For LUC 934, ITE identifies 50%, 55% and 37% passby traffic percentages during the respective AM, PM and Saturday peak hours, which are also accepted by NJDOT. Table 5 below details the traffic volumes associated with the subject project taking into account the passby credits.

Therefore, ITE data for LUC 932 was utilized to project the trip generation associated with the potential re-occupation of the existing use. The following Table 6 compares the trips associated with the proposed use to the trip generation potential of the site.
