Peak Traffic Hours. The TIA shall include peak hour traffic 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 year 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 occurring 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 /> -tra c eriod on Saturda a one-hour eak in traffic volumes <br /> 5.4 The peak ffi p y ( p <br /> between 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.). <br /> 6. estimation of Tries Generated.

Project trip generation rates shall be estimated using the most current version <br /> of the Institute of Transportation Engineers' Trip Generation Manual. Where available, equations <br /> may be used rather than average trip generation rates, but only if there are at least 20 data points in <br /> the sample and the Coefficient of Determination (R2) for the sample is greater than 0.75. <br /> 7.
