Traffic Impact Studies

SITE prepares traffic impact studies using sophisticated and up-to-date software for intersection capacity and Level-Of-Service including HCS 2000 and SIGNAL2000. In-house designed spreadsheets are used for signal and turn-lane warrants and for trip generation.

Permitting

Permitting the necessary intersection or roadway improvements, driveway connections, and/or traffic signal installations can be complex and time consuming. SITE works with state and local transportation and public works departments to secure the appropriate grading and construction permits.

Signal Design

For many commercial projects, a traffic signal is necessary. SITE uses CAD software to design state-of-the-art signal plans. Signal design plans and equipment specifications are coordinated with local and state agencies.

Geometric Design

SITE designs intersection and roadway improvements as well as driveways and internal street systems for small and large scale developments. SITE Engineers design plans for intersection realignment and/or improvement, additional lanes or turn lanes on roadways, and other geometric improvements.

Traffic Control Plans

SITE works with local municipalities and utility companies to develop traffic control plans for road and/or utility projects.

Master Planning

Large-scale municipal or private projects often require Master Planning. In conjunction with the Civil Engineering and Planning Department, or with other specialized firms, the Transportation Department analyzes and prepares integrated plans for transportation networks including major road systems, sidewalks, bikeways, transit routes, and truck routes.

Site Circulation

As with Master Planning, SITE provides plans for on-site circulation systems for large and small developments. Each site plan is evaluated and designed to accommodate the appropriate traffic elements including passenger vehicles, transit vehicles, commercial vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The internal traffic circulation including the parking areas, drive aisles, driveways, and loading/unloading areas are designed for efficiency, function, and safety.

Grant Writing

SITE staff has experience in transportation and related grant writing at the State and Federal level.
