Abstract
An efficient traffic network is one of the components that stimulate productivity and economic growth of the country. However, Los Baños, with its growing population and the rise of several establishments, is increasingly becoming a heavily congested area with low levels of service. A traffic impact assessment (TIA) aims to evaluate the impending traffic condition that comes with a certain new development in order to devise mitigation plans and schemes that will scale down the induced traffic saturation by the development. This particular study evaluated the traffic impact of the proposed 50-hectare PEZA industrial parks by obtaining actual traffic count of four intersections. The research involved running the simulation for four conditions: base condition, projected condition, without and with the development and mitigated traffic condition. Superimposed trip generated by the industrial parks at projected 5 year traffic showed extreme congestion. The traffic mitigation plans proposed comprised of increasing road widths concurrent with dedicating lanes for turns with high peak volume and proposing a new road with a design traffic projected for 10 years with the development.
