76 <br /> Table 1: Trip Generation Summary <br /> Daily Weekday AM Weekday PM <br /> Land Use Density Traffic Peak Hour Peak Hour <br /> (ITE Code) —Trips (v h) Trips (v h) <br /> (vpd) Enter Exit Enter Exit <br /> Single-Family Detached Housing 49 Units 524 10 29 32 19 <br /> (210) <br /> It is estimated that the proposed development will generate approximately 524 total site trips on <br /> the roadway network during a typical 24-hour weekday period. Of the daily traffic volume, it is <br /> anticipated that 39 trips (10 entering and 29 exiting)will occur during the weekday AM peak hour <br /> and 51 trips (32 entering and 19 exiting)will occur during the weekday PM peak hour. <br /> It should be noted that the daily traffic volume generated by the proposed development is expected <br /> to be below the NCDOT and County's thresholds to require a TIA.Based on coordination with the <br /> NCDOT and County,it was determined that a TIA is not required for the proposed development. <br /> Turn Lane Warrant Anal <br /> Turn lanes were considered at the proposed driveways based on the criteria contained in the <br /> NCDOT Policy on Street and Driveway Access to North Carolina Highways(Driveway Manual)Warrant <br /> for Left and Right-Turn Lanes nomograph. <br /> Existing peak hour traffic volumes along Highway 86 were determined based on 24-hour tube <br /> counts conducted in the vicinity of the site along Highway 86,in January of 2025 by Burns Service <br /> Inc. (BSI) during a typical weekday while schools were in session. It should be noted that the AM <br /> peak hour volumes reported were slightly outside of the typical weekday AM(7:00 AM-9:00 AM) <br /> peak period and the PM peak hour volumes reported were outside of the typical weekday PM(4:00 <br /> PM-6:00 PM) peak period. Although the peak hour volumes reported were outside of the typical <br /> peak periods,they were utilized as they provide a conservative analysis at the proposed driveways <br /> when traffic volumes along Highway 86 are at their highest. <br /> Refer to the attachments for an illustration of the existing peak hour traffic volumes along Highway <br /> 86 in the vicinity of the site. A copy of the count data has been attached for your reference. <br /> The trip distribution used in assigning the site traffic for the proposed development was estimated <br /> based on a combination of existing traffic patterns, population centers in the vicinity of the study <br /> area,and engineering judgement. <br /> It was assumed that the overall site trips will be regionally distributed as follows: <br /> • 40% to/from the north via Highway 86 <br /> • 60% to/from the south via Highway 86 <br /> Refer to the attachments for an illustration of the site trip distribution and site trip assignment at <br /> the proposed driveways. <br /> 2 <br /> Bolton&Menk is an equal opportunity employer. <br />
