Traffic Impact Assessment

Traffic has many impacts, it creates noise, pollution and roads can be visually unattractive. Management of these and other impacts may require severe changes to the intended development, for example the location of the development will affect the distance people travel to get there. Modal shift should also be considered, how can people be encouraged to get on their bicycle, or on to a bus. A major part of any traffic impact assessment will be a travel plan and and transport assessment, which are now common place for larger development as per governments sustainability initiatives.

In recent years we have moved away from the building of new roads to the encouraging of using various forms of transport, since the mid 90's government has decided that catering for more cars, actual creates more trips, and so this new sustainable approach to lessening impact has been adopted.
