Abstract
Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) is an effective method of measuring the influence of developments on the traffic networks in a specific area. This paper presents the TIA for the relocation of Maquiling School,Inc. (MSI) on Bay, Laguna considering the intersections of Pili Drive-Maahas Rd-IBP Rd., IPB Rd-San Luis Rd., IPB Crossing and F.T. San Luis Avenue-Rde Guzman Rd. It aims to evaluate the effect of transfer of the institution to the traffic conditions on the area of development primarily on the nearby intersections.Three scenarios were analyzed comparing the forecasted future traffic condition without the project and future traffic condition with the completed project to the existing traffic condition in the study area. Road capacities were estimated based on the road features and characteristics while traffic volumes were determined by manual counting. It was found that at present, Intersections 1, 3, and 4 are performing at ICU LOS G and H, which describes a congested intersection. Relocation of MSI can bring about significant increase in traffic for the said intersections and worsen the congestion in each intersection. To alleviate this forecasted traffic problem, mitigation measures were designed.
