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 traff c 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 />5.3 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.in.). <br />Administrative Order - 5 <br />r:\adminordlrules\0l stdstial ao.wpd(12/06/01) <br />
