to assess the impact of a proposed development on the transportation
system, both highways and public transportation. The purpose of the
impact study is to ensure that proposed developments or zoning changes
do not adversely affect the transportation network and to identify
any traffic problems associated with access between the site and the
existing transportation network. The study's purpose is also to delineate
solutions to potential problems and to present improvements to be
incorporated into the proposed development. The study shall assist
in the protection of air quality, the conservation of energy and the
encouragement of public transportation use.
(2)
Conduct of traffic impact study. The traffic impact study shall be
prepared by a qualified traffic engineer with previous traffic study
experience. The procedures and standards for the traffic impact study
are set forth herein. The applicant can provide funds to the Borough,
which can hire a traffic engineer of its choice to conduct the study,
if this procedure is deemed appropriate by the Borough.
(3)
Applicability.
(a)
A transportation impact study shall be submitted for all subdivisions
and land developments that meet one or more of the following criteria:
[1]
Residential: 25 or more dwelling units.
[2]
Commercial. Any commercial building or buildings consisting
of 10,000 square feet or more of gross floor space.
[3]
Office. A development consisting of 10,000 square feet or more
of gross floor space.
[4]
Industrial. Any industrial development.
[5]
Institutional. Any medical, education or institutional development.

(4)
LEVEL OF SERVICE
MAJOR INTERSECTION
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
STUDY AREA
TRIP GENERATION RATES
VOLUME/CAPACITY ANALYSIS
WARRANTS FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALLATION
Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have
the meanings indicated:
Level of service, as described in the Highway Capacity Manual,
indicates how well traffic moves on a particular highway facility
or through a specific intersection. There are six levels of servicing,
ranging from A through F. Level of service A indicates generally free
movement. Level of service E represents maximum capacity of the facility.
Level of service F indicates congestion. Level of service C is considered
the design level of service, representing a stable traffic flow and
a relatively satisfactory travel speed.
Any intersection where traffic generated by the proposal
will have a significant impact on the operation of the intersection
and/or any other intersection involving an arterial road. Where doubt
exists, the transportation engineer shall seek guidance from the Borough
Manager prior to the submission of the traffic impact study.
Transportation service for the general public provided by
a common carrier of passengers generally on a regular route basis
or a private operator offering service to the public.
This area will extend approximately 1/2 mile along the adjacent
roadways in both directions from all access points or to the first
major intersection along these roadways. Where doubt exists, the transportation
engineer shall seek guidance from the New Britain Borough Manager
prior to the submission of the traffic impact study.
The total count of trips to and from a study site per unit
of land use, as measured by parameters such as dwelling units, acres,
etc.
This procedure compares the volume of a roadway or intersection
approach to its capacity (maximum number of vehicles that can pass
a given point during a given time period). The procedures described
in the Highway Capacity Manual, Highway Research Board, latest edition,
shall be followed.
This is a series of warrants which detail the minimum traffic
or pedestrian volumes or other criteria necessary for the installation
of a traffic signal. These warrants are contained in the most-recent
version of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets
and Highways, United States Department of Transportation, Federal
Highway Administration.
[Amended 5-8-2018 by Ord.
No. 387]
(5)
General requirements and standards. A transportation impact study
shall contain the following information:
(a)
General site description. The site description shall include
the size, location, proposed land uses, construction staging and completion
date of the proposed subdivision or land development. If the development
is residential, types of dwelling units shall also be included. A
brief description of other major existing and proposed developments
within the study area shall be provided. The general site description
shall also include probable socioeconomic characteristics of potential
site users to the extent that they may affect the transportation needs
of the site (i.e., number of senior citizens).
(b)
Transportation facilities description.
[1]
The description shall contain a full documentation of the proposed
internal and existing external transportation system. This description
shall include proposed internal vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian
circulation, all proposed ingress and egress locations, all internal
roadway widths and rights-of-way, parking conditions, traffic channelizations
and any traffic signals or other intersection control devices at all
intersections within the site.
[2]
The report shall describe the entire external roadway system
within the study area. Major intersections in the study area shall
be identified and sketched. All existing and proposed public transportation
services and facilities within a one-mile radius of the site shall
also be documented. All future highway improvements, including proposed
construction and traffic signalization, shall be noted. This information
shall be obtained from the Twelve-Year Highway Capital Program for
the Delaware Valley Region and from the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation. Any proposed roadway improvements due to proposed
surrounding developments shall be recorded.
(c)
Existing traffic conditions. Existing traffic conditions shall
be measured and documented for all roadways and intersections in the
study area. Existing traffic volumes for average daily traffic, peak
highway hour(s) traffic, and peak development-generated hour(s), and
documentation shall be included in the report. A volume/capacity analysis
based upon existing volumes shall be performed during the peak highway
hour(s) and the peak development-generated hour(s) for all roadways
and major intersections in the study area. Levels of service shall
be determined for each location using the latest edition of the Highway
Capacity Manual methodology.
[Amended 5-8-2018 by Ord.
No. 387]
(d)
Transportation impact of the development. Estimation of vehicular
trips to result from the proposal shall be completed for the average
daily peak highway hour(s) and peak development-generated hour(s).
Vehicular trip generation rates to be used for this calculation shall
be obtained from the latest edition of Trip Generation, An Informational
Report, Institute of Transportation Engineers. These development-generated
traffic volumes shall be provided for the inbound and outbound traffic
movements, as estimated, and the reference source(s) and methodology
followed shall be documented. All turning movements shall be calculated.
These generated volumes shall be distributed to the study area and
assigned to the existing roadways and intersections throughout the
study area. Documentation of all assumptions used in the distribution
and assignment phase shall be provided. Traffic volumes shall be assigned
to individual access points. If school crossings are to be used, pedestrian
volumes shall be assigned to each crossing. Any characteristics of
the site that will cause particular trip generation problems shall
be noted.
[Amended 4-14-2015 by Ord. No. 361; 5-8-2018 by Ord. No. 387]
(e)
Analysis of transportation impact.
[1]
The total future traffic demand shall be calculated. This demand
shall consist of the combination of the existing traffic expanded
to the completion year (using an annual background traffic growth
rate available), the development-generated traffic, and the traffic
generated by other proposed developments in the study area. A second
volume/capacity analysis shall be conducted using the total future
demand and the future roadway capacity. If staging of the proposed
development is anticipated, calculations for each stage of completion
shall be made. This analysis shall be performed during the peak highway
hour(s) and peak development-generated hour(s) for all roadways and
major intersections in the study area. Level of service calculations
shall be completed for all major intersections. It is usually at these
locations that capacity is most restricted.
[2]
All access points and pedestrian crossings shall be examined
as to the feasibility of installing traffic signals. This evaluation
shall compare the projected traffic and pedestrian volumes to the
warrants for traffic signal installation.
(f)
Conclusions and recommended improvements.
[1]
Levels of service for all roadways and intersections shall be
listed. All roadways and/or intersections showing a level of service
below C shall be considered deficient, and specific recommendations
for the elimination of these problems shall be listed. This listing
