Abstract

The construction of Centro Mall is an evidence that Los Baños is expanding its potential as a competent town in terms of commerce. The study was conducted in order to evaluate the possible impacts of the project towards the traffic condition the area through analysis of level of service. This study aims to determine the level of service of present and future traffic conditions with or without the influence of establishing the Centro Mall. Investigation was done at Lopez Avenue-F.O. Santos Street Intersection and along Lopez Avenue-Mt. Halcon Street Intersection. Through traffic counts at morning and afternoon hours, traffic data were processed using the trial version of Synchro. Future traffic projection was based from the present traffic simulation. Based from the generated LOS, Lopez Avenue-F.O. Santos Street Intersection is classified as LOS F. for the Lopez Avenue-Mt. Halcon Street Intersection, it was also LOS F. The traffic condition condition is increasing with the effect of the completed project and normal trafic growth. As a conclusion, there will be tolerable impacts on future traffic due to the project and based from this statement, mitigating measures are to be considered including prohibition of parking at both sides of streets, and establishment of control systems at intersections.
