TIA is a study/tool/mechanism to evaluate the transportation and traffic impact of a proposed land development project. It identifies the need for any mitigation measures for a transportation system to reduce congestion, maintain and improve safety. It provide the authorities/planners/developers a framework in making critical land use and site planning decisions regarding traffic and transportation issues.
Requirement for Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) ?
For any land development projects that is expected to generate 100 or more peak hour vehicles, or when a project might impact an already congested or high accident area, or when specific site access and safety issues are of concern.
Aim of Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA)
To minimize traffic congestion and all related ills, in order to achieve a sustainable development
Importance and Significance of Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) ?
- Legislative: mandatory for most land development especially in urban areas
- Micro level transportation planning that warrant analysis to gauge the impact of future developments on the surrounding road networks
- Done at the earliest planning stages of a project would assists in preparation of a more responsive and cost-effective site plan.
