A Traffic Impact Statement (TIS) is an essential document used to evaluate the effects of a project or a change in land use on the surrounding transportation system. Here’s what it typically includes:

1. Purpose:

   • To ensure the proposed project meets safety and efficiency standards for traffic flow.

   • To identify any necessary improvements or mitigations for the transportation network.

2. Key Components:

   • Project Overview: Information about the proposed development, location, and scope.

   • Traffic Analysis: Evaluation of current traffic conditions and projected changes caused by the development.

   • Peak Hour Analysis: Study of traffic during peak hours to anticipate congestion.

   • Access and Parking: Assessment of access points and parking facilities.

   • Safety Considerations: Review of impacts on pedestrian and vehicle safety.

   • Mitigation Measures: Recommendations for road improvements, signal upgrades, or other adjustments.

3. Use in Planning:

   • Helps local authorities make informed decisions regarding zoning, permitting, and infrastructure upgrades.

   • Helps develop a works plan for temproary works to ensure congestion due to works is mitigated

   • Ensures community concerns, such as congestion and safety, are addressed.
