§ 30-358. Traffic impact analysis and road signing and striping plan.

(a)

A traffic impact analysis, prepared in accordance with the county traffic impact analysis standards, shall be required for any residential subdivision consisting of 100 or greater dwelling units. If any exterior roadway bordering any part of the subdivision site exhibits a measured daily traffic volume equal to 5,000 vehicles per day or greater during the year of subdivision application, then a traffic impact analysis shall be required for any residential subdivision producing 500 or greater trips per day.

(b)

The traffic impact analysis shall be used as a tool for early identification of potential traffic problems such as:

(1)

On-site congestion, as well as congestion on adjacent roadways.

(2)

Inadequate capacity to accommodate traffic entering and leaving the site during peak hours.

(3)

Intersection safety and operations deficiencies.

(4)

Existing and planned road infrastructure impacts on traffic safety, such as safe operating speed and available sight distance.

(c)

As part of the final subdivision construction plans, a signing and striping plan, in accordance with the manual on uniform traffic control devices and any policies and standards adopted thereof, shall be submitted for review and approval by the county traffic safety committee. The plan shall show all proposed regulatory, advisory, and street signs and proposed striping, including, but not limited to, stop bars, turn lane demarcation, crosswalks and school crossings.

(d)

Developers shall erect temporary traffic control devices to effect closure of roadways subject to improvement.
