Attendees will gain insight into traffic issues that affect their projects during planning, design, and construction phases. The course focuses on traffic impact analyses, driveway and circulation design, roadway infrastructure improvements, and roadway mitigation. The course will also provide technical insights for the “big picture” items including connectivity between various parking, pedestrian and traffic elements, layout of driveways, signage and wayfinding, and pedestrian safety.

Learning Objective 1:
Teach attendees how traffic issues can impact the project and the importance of dealing with these issues early in the design process with the design team and outline safety benefits to the general public.

Learning Objective 2:
Teach attendees about Traffic Impact Studies and how new trips will impact existing roads. Also teach about roadway mitigation and will it be necessary. Also review how to ensure the health an safety to drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists.

Learning Objective 3:
Teach the design team the importance of involving the traffic engineer early in the design process and ensure the safety of the public and access.

Learning Objective 4:
Teach attendees project driveway design and the importance of discussing this issue with the design team early in the design process.
