• Abstract:
  Traffic impact analysis (TIA) is an important piece of transportation planning, design, and construction. The practice is conventionally deployed as a means to minimize and mitigate the traffic congestion impacts of new development by tying roadway capacity improvements to land development permits. Many city and state governments view the TIA process as a critical means of generating needed infrastructure improvements, and its use has become ubiquitous among DOTs across the US. However, there is a paucity of research into the relationship between land development and road safety outcomes.
