5 <br />volumes shall be assigned to individual access points.] <br />otherwise ARRlicable shall be re rted. [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 vaKy significantly from average rates available in <br />ublished sources shall be documented including-such <br />tactors as diversion of Rasser-by traffic, internal <br />capture, 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 construct <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 />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 />appropriate, 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 t at <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 adequate sight distance and [as to the <br />feasibility of] for the necessit 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 <br />to be addressed at all <br />crossings). <br />[] = delete text <br />bold underline = add text <br />adds sight distance as an elemen <br />access points and pedestrian <br />
