.• <br />Carolina Friends School <br />Traffic Impact Analysis <br />The purpose of this report is to evaluate the proposed development in terms of <br />projected traffic conditions, evaluate the ability of the adjacent roadways to <br />accommodate the additional traffic volumes, and to recommend transportation <br />improvements needed to mitigate congestion that may result from the <br />additional site traffic. This report presents trip generation, trip distribution, traffic <br />analyses, and recommendations for transportation improvements needed to <br />meet anticipated traffic demands. The improvements will be built in phases over <br />the next several years. The Performing Arts Center is expected to be complete <br />by 2013. This report assumes that all improvements will be made by 2016. The <br />following study scenarios are studied in this report: 2011 Existing AM Peak Hour <br />Conditions, 2016 AM Peak Hour No Build Conditions, 2016 AM Peak Hour Build <br />Out Conditions <br />A. Study Area <br />The following intersections were analyzed to determine the associated impacts <br />from the proposed development: <br />Mount Sinai Road at Friends School Road <br />A Friends School Road at Carolina Friends School Entrance <br />B. Existing Conditions <br />Mt. Sinai Road _(SR 1718) is a two lane, east -west roadway that connects NC 86 <br />to Erwin Road in Durham. The existing land use is predominantly residential.
