Traffic Impact Assessment for Sustainable Development

this topic is quite interesting since I'm not really familiar with this term of Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA)..what I am usually heard is about Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)..Traffic can be defined as on road traffic but inclusive of public transport and pedestrian.. TIA is a step or process of development..any kind of development need to conduct TIA.. it is because to give an assessment of the impact of the proposed development..it is include an access on how many traffic going in and out of the area..TIA purpose is to discover problems and issues due to generated traffic from proposed new development..TIA also suggest mitigation measures or actions to be taken to reduce or eliminate problem and issue identified..

TIA is important in order to determine the transportation and traffic impact of a proposed land development. TIA not only can be applied for new development, but also can be use for existing development. For me TIA benefits all..why? because by conducting TIA, we can reduce negative impact creted by the development..
