Design Traffic Clause Samples
The 'Design Traffic' clause defines the expected volume and type of traffic that a project, such as a roadway or bridge, is designed to accommodate over its intended lifespan. This clause typically specifies parameters like the number of vehicles, vehicle types (e.g., cars, trucks, buses), and anticipated growth in traffic over time, which are used to determine the structural and functional requirements of the design. By clearly establishing these criteria, the clause ensures that the infrastructure will be safe, durable, and fit for purpose, while also protecting parties from disputes related to future traffic demands or overuse.
