Traffic Study
Project location
· Summary:
Traffic studies of the project area that located in city of Santee and the impact by on the Cuyamaca street and Buena vista Avenue. This study will help us to know the situation of the area for cars movement and average daily traffic. Also we are going to research about the traffic volume around the project site and to know the level of service. Since there are residents next to the project location, by knowing this information we can try to avoid making some delaying for the community residents and to specify a time for our workers to get the stuff they need perfectly with no delay and effect on collecting time. So that will help us also to finish our project within a good time and without any complicating.
· Project location & Intersection Analysis:
The project area is located on the southeast corner of the intersection signal for Cuyamaca street (North-South) and Buena Vista Avenue (West-East). Ctiy of santee afford a street parking on Buena Vista avenue which is on the north side of the site and that may affect on the traffic movement on Buena vista avenue east. There is a bus station on the west side were the project located and there is a trolley road on Cuyamaca street. Buena Vista Avenue is with one lane for each way while the Cuyamaca street has 3 lanes for the each way. Project site located on the north side of the 52 HWY and visitors can use the way out from the highway to the location and in from the same way to the highway. So, on the south side of the project location there is an access from and to the 52 HWY to the Cuyamaca street. The back peak and a head beak per hour of 52 and Cuyamaca Street is 7600-7000 in year 2016 according to Caltrans.
In the initial site layout I would recommend to put a one-way sign leading to east on Buena Vista on the North entrance for people who leaving the location and slide it around 100’ to the west so there wont be a hard traffic movement around the facility location. The second thing is to use the west parking access just by people who leaving the location because using .To calculate the flow rate of the street we can use:
- Parking design:
The project location need a parking design as in initial site layout there are 3 access to the facility one from the west side of the project location which is from Cuyamaca street and two from the north side from Buena Vista Avenue. The peak per hour is needed to be 5:1 and we assume the facility will be busy during the week days from 0800 am till 0730 pm. Street parking is allowed from the city of Santee from the north side of the project location which is on Buena Vista Avenue. The information about the ability of the parking size is given already from the client and it was around 400 cars in total. To design the parking we have to follow the information was giving in county of San Diego manual and we need to follow all instructions in Parking Design Manual. Sine our project ...

· Summary:
Traffic studies of the project area that located in city of Santee
and the impact by on the Cuyamaca street and Buena vista
Avenue. This study will help us to know the situation of the
area for cars movement and average daily traffic. Also we are
going to research about the traffic volume around the project
site and to know the level of service. Since there are residents
next to the project location, by knowing this information we can
try to avoid making some delaying for the community residents
and to specify a time for our workers to get the stuff they need

without any complicating.
· Project location & Intersection Analysis:
2. The project area is located on the southeast corner of the
intersection signal for Cuyamaca street (North-South) and
Buena Vista Avenue (West-East). Ctiy of santee afford a street
parking on Buena Vista avenue which is on the north side of the
site and that may affect on the traffic movement on Buena vista
avenue east. There is a bus station on the west side were the
project located and there is a trolley road on Cuyamaca street.
Buena Vista Avenue is with one lane for each way while the
Cuyamaca street has 3 lanes for the each way. Project site
located on the north side of the 52 HWY and visitors can use
the way out from the highway to the location and in from the
same way to the highway. So, on the south side of the project
location there is an access from and to the 52 HWY to the
Cuyamaca street. The back peak and a head beak per hour of 52
and Cuyamaca Street is 7600-7000 in year 2016 according to
Caltrans.
In the initial site layout I would recommend to put a one-way
sign leading to east on Buena Vista on the North entrance for
people who leaving the location and slide it around 100’ to the
west so there wont be a hard traffic movement around the
facility location. The second thing is to use the west parking
access just by people who leaving the location because using
.To calculate the flow rate of the street we can use:
- Parking design:
The project location need a parking design as in initial site
layout there are 3 access to the facility one from the west side
of the project location which is from Cuyamaca street and two
from the north side from Buena Vista Avenue. The peak per
hour is needed to be 5:1 and we assume the facility will be busy
3. during the week days from 0800 am till 0730 pm. Street parking
is allowed from the city of Santee from the north side of the
project location which is on Buena Vista Avenue. The
information about the ability of the parking size is given
already from the client and it was around 400 cars in total. To
design the parking we have to follow the information was giving
in county of San Diego manual and we need to follow all
instructions in Parking Design Manual. Sine our project is under
commercial type its required to build a 6’ high wall or a fence if
subjected to residential use regulation or we can do a curb if
there is no fence or wall was installed. Accessible spaces
required a minimum number if the parking size will be the same
is 400 X 0.02= 8 accessible parking spaces. We assume that we
designing a 90 degree parking lot, in this case we are required
to use 18’ dimension layout and the parking that going to be on
the wall or curb need to be 62’-0’’. The wheel stop dimensions
must be 3’ minimum away from the curb and 4’’ high and that
taken from the 18’ of the parking space. We assume the
sidewalk in our parking design because it’s under the property
area. In 2010 California Green Building Standards Code, newly
constructed non-residential uses shall provide designated
parking for clean air vehicles and it must be at least 8% if the
number of parking spaces >201. Our parking design includes
landscaping the parking area and it’s required minimum of 14
square feet landscaping per parking space. Landscape is
required a minimum of 2’>3’ to avoid wheels from running into
the curb.
· Parking construction and Cost Estimating:
Parking construction work comes with many processes and as I
mentioned we need to work on it perfectly and since parking
need many trucks and materials in and out from the site we have
some areas from the site to put the materials at. So, parking
construction comes after hydrology, storm water, and sewer. We
are using unit price list, County of San Diego Manual. In this
situation we assume to do: (Courtesy: unit price list, County of
San Diego)

A- The scope of the work includes, but is not limited to, the
following:
· The engineering documents shall include:
1- Traffic analysis to calculate the demand for the project and to
provide recommendations for parking requirements.
2- The traffic study will also be used for the design that will
address the traffic improvement recommendations to support
cost estimating and construction analysis.
B- This project shall address the following disciplines as
minimum requirements:
- Transportation – Traffic Study to determine impact of
development, recommended offsite improvements, and parking
requirements.
