Traffic Impact Studies Transportation improvements often increase a specific area’s growth potential. Proposed development can impact the surrounding roadway system by increasing existing traffic volumes or altering traffic patterns. Traffic impact studies serve as the watchdog of infrastructure development, assisting developers and local development agencies in making land use decisions involving annexations, subdivisions, rezoning, special land uses, and other development reviews. Assessing the impacts of new or proposed development including safety, traffic, and transportation operations on the current infrastructure aids developers and government agencies in minimizing adverse effects.
PBS&J’s professionals have substantial experience with the full range of traffic impact studies, from small developments requiring minor roadway modifications to regional development projects with significant infrastructure improvements, including additional freeway access. Such developments require local and state concurrence and are often submitted for federal approval.
Regardless of scope, the traffic impact study process requires close coordination with stakeholder agencies and an understanding that relationships—with the client and stakeholders—are paramount to delivering a successful project. PBS&J has successfully assisted numerous clients realize their goals of smart growth and safe community planning through the use of state-of-the-art technologies, development of strong client and stakeholder relationships, and local policy knowledge.
