5 sl <br />volumes shall be assigned to individual access points.] <br />Pedestrian and bic cle volumes at school crossings and as <br />otherwise agglicable shall be re noted. [Pedestrian <br />volumes shall also be calculated, if applicable. If school <br />crossings are to be used, pedestrian volumes shall be <br />assigned to each crossing.] Any characteristics of the <br />site that will cause (particular] trip generation [problems <br />shall be noted] <br />to VaMr siggLficantly from averse rates available in <br />ublished sources shall be documented ,--including such <br />factors as diversion of gasser-by traffic, internal <br />ca ture staggered-work hours, or use of transit. <br />(The proposed amendments are more specific regarding the <br />times for which trips for the proposed development are to <br />be estimated, require graphic.depiction of estimated <br />traffic volumes, and require documentation of volumes that <br />vary significantly from average rates in published <br />sources). <br />e) Analysis of Transportation Impact <br />The total traffic demand that will result from construction <br />of the proposed development shall be calculated. This <br />demand shall consist of the combination of the existing <br />traffic (and], traffic generated by the proposed <br />development, and traffic due to other developments and <br />other growth in traffic that would be expected to use the <br />roadway at the time the proposed develo eat is com leted. <br />If staging of the proposed development is anticipated, <br />calculations for each stage of completion shall be made. <br />This analysis shall be performed [during] for average <br />weekday traffic, the peak highway hour(s) and, if <br />a ro riate, peak development- generated hour(s) for all <br />roadways and major intersections in the study area. <br />Volume /capacity calculations shall be completed for all <br />major intersections. It is usually at these locations that <br />capacity is most restricted. <br />(The proposed amendment requires that all traffic expected <br />in the study area at the time of proposed development <br />completion be documented, not just the traffic expected as <br />a result of the development). <br />All access points and pedestrian crossings shall be <br />examined ' for adeauate_sight distance and [as to the <br />feasibility of] for the necessity of installing traffic <br />signals. [This] The traffic signal evaluation shall <br />compare the projected traffic and pedestrian volumes to the <br />warrants for traffic signal installation. <br />(The proposed amendment adds sight distance as an element <br />to be addressed at all access points and pedestrian <br />crossings). <br />[] = delete text <br />bold underline = add text <br />
