Abstract:

A "site access study" is a generic term commonly used by transportation/land use planners and traffic engineers to describe how traffic generated by either new land use(s) or replacement land use(s) will be served by an existing or future road network. A site access study involves technical analyses applied to a distinct study area that may range from one or two key intersections to a complete roadway network. Since the site access study process is being used more and more as a basis for establishing a developer's share of future roadway improvements, the technical analyses are increasingly being used for negotiations between public and private groups. This places great importance on certain elements of the technical analyses, such as trip generation rates, trip distribution patterns mode split analyses and the percentage of site trips arriving or departing during the peak hour. The emphasis on privately financed improvements or contributions has also led to the extension of the study area boundaries to ensure that the widest range of public concerns are included. This report was prepared to promote a better understanding of the site access study process. Figures, tables, appendices.
