82 <br />Carolina Friends School <br />Traffic Impact Analysis <br />IX. SimTraffic Observations <br />SimTraffic models were run for the Build Out scenario to observe the predicted <br />traffic operations throughout the study area. Minimal queues are predicted <br />throughout the study area. According to SimTraffic, the most significant queue <br />on Friends School Road at Mt. Sinai Road is approximately 4 cars (92 feet) that <br />are expected to queue on Friends School Road. SimTraffic also indicates that <br />the maximum queue exiting the school driveway is approximately 4 car lengths <br />(94 feet). There is sufficient internal storage to accommodate exiting school <br />traffic on -site. Therefore, no significant queues are predicted within the study <br />area. <br />X. Recommendations <br />Due to the minimal additional traffic that will be added to the roadway network <br />and the available additional capacity along the surrounding roadway network, <br />no additional improvements are required as a part of the proposed <br />development. <br />This study shows that traffic generated by the proposed development will not <br />have a significuni impact on surrounding raadwuys and intersections. The <br />SimTraffic results indicate that there will not be any queuing issues in The vicinity <br />of the school. No improvements are required to mitigate the additional traffic <br />generated by the proposed development. <br />March 2011 Page 16 <br />i <br />
