TRAFFIC ENGINEERING STUDIES Clause Samples
The "Traffic Engineering Studies" clause establishes the requirement for conducting analyses to assess and optimize traffic flow and safety within a specific area or for a particular project. Typically, this involves gathering data on current traffic patterns, evaluating the impact of proposed changes such as new developments or road modifications, and recommending solutions like signal adjustments or signage improvements. The core function of this clause is to ensure that any changes to infrastructure are informed by data-driven insights, thereby minimizing congestion, enhancing safety, and supporting efficient transportation planning.
TRAFFIC ENGINEERING STUDIES. The ENGINEER shall conduct traffic signal studies for designated locations or sections of roadways for use in authorizing traffic signals and other recommendations for improving traffic operations. The study will contain the following: • Perform manual turning movement counts at the study location during a weekday (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) for the following periods: 6:00 – 9:00 a.m., 9:30 – 11:30 a.m., 12:00 – 1:30 p.m., 2:00 – 3:30 p.m., and 4:00-6:00 p.m. Counts will be recorded at 15 minute and hourly intervals. Totals will be provided for the a.m. and p.m. periods along with the overall 12 hours. • Perform 24 hour traffic counts (15 minute and hourly intervals) when requested at the study location or section of roadway. • Perform pedestrian volume counts on each approach at the study location for the time periods mentioned above or as directed by the STATE. • Conduct a site inspection at the study location and record traffic characteristics observed in the field. The field work may include taking measurements, locating utilities, locating existing signal equipment, identifying existing conditions and taking digital photographs of the intersection (minimum of three photographs per approach). • Prepare condition diagram showing details from site inspection and field work mentioned above. • Obtain and analyze accident records for the study location or section of roadway from the STATE or local governmental agency during the most recent thirty six
