Abstract

A useful method for evaluating the effects of traffic generated by a proposed development on the local transportation system is the traffic impact assessment (TIA). A TIA typically contains a description of the size and complexity of the planned project, an overview of the anticipated effects, and any upgrades that may be necessary to make the roadway infrastructure safe for the proposed development. With this study's design horizon in mind, we hope to ensure that the transportation system will operate efficiently and safely. Development must have the necessary utilities and transportation systems to sustain itself. Every proposed development must then include an evaluation of the site's appropriateness in terms of factors like compatibility with highways and plans, access location geometry, and capacity and traffic control, among others. The main objective of the TIA report is to identify whether a particular development project will have an impact on the safety and efficiency of adjacent roads. Moreover, the report paves the way for additional study and the development of traffic management plans to reduce traffic congestion. TIA is also needed to support the EIA being prepared for any project development along the highway road. So, it is important to evaluate TIA while new industrial installations are set up along the Highways in Bangladesh.
