Peak Traffic Hours. The TIA shall include peak hour traf~-lc counts for all streets <br /> within the study area at the time of application. Existing traffic counts (less than 2 years old) may <br /> be factored by an average 2% per yeaz growth rate to establish the forecasted background traffic <br /> volumes. Growth rates less than this amount may be used for those roadways that are already <br /> approaching their theoretical capacity during peak periods if the lower growth rates are justified by <br /> a different methodology presented by a professional traffic engineer. Traffic .counts shall be <br /> provided for: <br /> 5.1 The weekday a.m. peak-traffic period (a one-hour peak in morning traffic <br /> volumes occurring between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.). <br /> 5.2 The weekday p.m. peak-traffic period (a one-hour peak in afternoon traffic <br /> volumes occumng between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.). <br /> S.3 The weekday midday peak-traffic period (a one-hour peak in traffic volumes <br /> between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.). <br /> 5.4 The peak-traffic period on Saturday (a one-hour peak in traffic volumes <br /> between 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.). <br /> Administrative Order - 5 <br /> r:\adminord\rules\Olstdstialao.wpd(12/06/01) <br /> <br />
