A detailed description of the highway network within the study area, a description of the proposed land uses, the anticipated stages of construction and the anticipated completion date of the proposed land development shall be provided. This description, which shall be in the form of a map at a scale of at least one inch equals 400 feet, shall include the following terms: all major intersections, all proposed and existing ingress and egress locations, all existing roadway widths and rights-of-way, all existing and proposed public transportation services and facilities within the study areas and the eighty-fifth-percentile speed.

In addition, any changes to the highway network within the study area project shall be mapped and described. This description shall include the above items, as well as any proposed construction project that would alter the width and/or alignment of the present highway. All sources of such information shall be identified with reference to the title, author, date and publisher.

The study area shall include areas that are impacted by the development. The study area should be confirmed with the traffic consultant for the Consolidated Land Use Board of Mansfield Township consultant prior to beginning the traffic study.

A twenty-four-hour traffic count shall be conducted for a period of three weekdays (Monday to Friday) on all roadways which have direct access to the proposed development site. Prior to conducting traffic counts, the applicant shall submit a map identifying the location(s) for said site to the traffic consultant and seek approval to conduct counts at the specified locations. The existing average daily traffic volume and the highest average peak hour volume for any weekday hour between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. shall be recorded. Where such counts are conducted at intersections, delineation of all turning movements shall be made on fifteen-minute intervals. These traffic volumes shall be averaged to determine the average hourly peak traffic volumes and a projection of the thirtieth-highest hour volume for the three days between Monday and Friday. The applicant shall make available, upon request, all worksheets and field data used to generate figures documenting existing traffic conditions. Alternate traffic counts may be required during weekend or other peak time periods to anticipate seasonal variations in recreational traffic or other peaking characteristics. This requirement will be at the discretion of the traffic consultant, based upon the use proposed.

All commercial activities will require Saturday hourly directional counts and will require manual turning movement counts between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

Proposed plan. The transportation impact of the proposed project shall provide accurate data on the traffic conditions of roads in the immediate vicinity of the proposal at the time it is actually developed.

Transportation impact of the development. The average weekday trip generation rates and the highest average hourly a.m., p.m. and Saturday trip generating rates for the proposed use shall be determined from the Institute of Transportation Engineers' trip generating report of comparable source information recognized by the traffic engineering profession. (Note: For most highways in Mansfield Township, the peak hours occur between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., except as required for seasonal evaluations. On such roads, the worst time condition of the road is unlikely to change solely because single use has different peak hours. Large development of regional impact may, however, alter this generalization; hence, data for both time periods must be provided.)

Determination of roadway levels of service.

Calculated intersection levels of service. Intersection levels of service shall be calculated for all intersections in the study utilizing the latest Highway Capacity Manual and NJDOT approved software.

Levels of service shall be calculated for existing conditions, future conditions without site traffic and future (build out) conditions with site traffic.
