Traffic Impact Studies are crucial for evaluating the effects of new developments on traffic and mobility in the surrounding area. Their main objectives include:
- Assessing the impacts of the new urban project on traffic and mobility in the surrounding area.
- Developing Solutions: Proposing improvements for the flow and safety of vehicle and pedestrian movement, parking, and loading operations, ensuring the quality of the urban project and its integration into the territory.
These studies are vital for planning large commercial, industrial, logistical, and residential developments, as well as for expansions or changes in use of existing units. They are typically required by municipalities as part of the licensing processes, constituting an essential element for approval.
