1.1.2 Traffic impact assessment (TIA) attempts to appraise the interaction between
land use, traffic demand and the need for facilities. TIA enables the road
authority to evaluate the ability of existing or future road network to cope with
additional trips contributed by the development under consideration. The
required mitigation measures attributable to this project can then be identified
in order to maintain the anticipated levels of traffic demand.

1.1.2 Tetuan Heng Guan Sdn. Bhd. is proposed to initiate the development of a
residential and commercial entities comprising of 6 units of bungalow (50’ x
80’), 202 units of semi-detached (40’ x 80’), 69 units of Zero Lots semi-
detached (40’ x 80’), 40 units of semi-detached (35’ x 80’), 313 units of terrace
house (22’ x 70’), 38 units of terrace house (22’x 75’), 288 units of flats, shop
office 2 storey (184 units), business area 2 units, 1 unit club house and 1 unit
pump station. A detailed description of the land use activities pertaining to
traffic impact assessment is available elsewhere in this report.

1.1.3 As shown in Figure 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 the proposed site development to be
located on Lot 1221, 4631, 4632, 4633 and 4634, Section 4, Bandar Sungai
Lalang, Kedah Darul Aman. The main accesses that will bear immediate
impact by the proposed site are the existing traffic travel along Federal roads
(1).

1.2 OBJECTIVES

The objectives of traffic impact assessment for the proposed site are outlined
underneath:-

a) To evaluate the existing traffic characteristics at the surrounding of

the project;

b) To record the highest travel demand at the access intersections,

which will bear the immediate traffic impact from the proposed
development;

c) To assess the existing traffic conditions such as road capacity,

traffic volume, degree of congestion and Level of Services (LOS)
on existing Federal Road (Route 1-Sg Lalang) / Route K1
(Towards Bukit Air Nasi) (Junction A), Federal Road (Route 1-Sg
Lalang) / Road Leading to Kampung Telok (Junction B), Federal
Road (Route 1-Sg Lalang) / Road Leading to Taman Bandar
Baru / Sg. Lalang (Junction C), Federal Road (Route 1-Sg Lalang)
/ Jalan Bukit Selambau (K152) (Junction D) and Federal Road
(Route 1-Sg Lalang) / Jalan Permai Bistari 4 (Junction E).

d) To determine the travel demand and estimated trip generation/

attraction by all the existing development, proposed extension, as
well as the anticipated traffic growth in the vicinity of the study area;

e) To determine the LOS when upon completion and 10 years after

completion of the road adjacent to the proposed development site;

f) To analyze performance of junction considered and to suggest

improvements necessary to maintain acceptable performance level
and;

g) To prepare the traffic impact assessment report.

1.3 STUDY APPROACH

1.3.1 This study is undertaken to investigate the impact of travel demand generated
by the Proposed Site upon the adjacent road system. The study calls for an
analysis of the anticipated traffic condition based on the case with the
Proposed Site.

1.3.2 Future link flow and the turning traffic volumes will be based upon the
historical growth and the future completion of the land use development
throughout the design period and impact will be assessed based upon the
performance of the intersection with the Proposed Site.

1.3.3 Recommendation will be made based upon the impact of the Proposed Site to
the road network and if any traffic engineering measures to be undertaken
together with the Proposal.

1.4 REPORT STRUCTURE

Chapter One contains introduction, background and objectives. Chapter Two

described proposed site details including proposed development component.
Next is Chapter Three appraises the existing traffic condition comprising traffic
count survey, existing road capacity, daily traffic volumes, peak hour traffic
and analysis of junction performance in exiting year 2014. Chapter Four
evaluates of traffic generation which are trip generation, projected traffic,
analysis future traffic condition, traffic growth, volume/capacity growth and
intersection/junction analysis performance. The findings, observations,
recommendations and conclusions are summarised under Chapter Five.
