Possible problems

Inadequate access

On-site parking

No
On-site congestions
Congestion on the
public street system
Access design

High accident
experience
Limited flexibility to
adjust the design or
operation to changed
conditions
Involve the
traffic engineer
from the
beginning!
Before building
location and design
are finalized and
financial commitments
are made, estimate
potential traffic
impacts on the site
and the off-site,
affected areas and
identify possible
TIA
TIA Concerned with the generation, distribution, and
assignment of traffic to and from a proposed
development through the road network surrounding the
development. Also TIA is to determine what impact the
existing and projected traffic on the roadway system
will have on the proposed development.
When is it required?
All development which can be expected to generate more
traffic than some specified threshold
All applications for rezoning
Any change in the use of an existing commercial or
industrial site
The previous TIA is more than 2 years old or where
increased land use intensity will result in an increase in traffic
generation by more than 15% or a directional distribution in
