City of Los Angeles Traffic Study Requirements - Suppose the project needs a discretionary action and a traffic study in the City of Los Angeles. In such a case, the answer to any of the following questions should be yes. Note that further analysis is compulsory. Without evaluations, one cannot assess whether a project results in impacts owing to incompatible uses or geometric design hazards.
Given below are the questions for which at least one answer should be yes:
Question 1: Is a project that proposes new driveways or introduces vehicles to get access to a property from a public right-of-way?
Question 2: Is the project that proposes to make modifications to a public right-of-way including the following:
- Street dedications
- Reconfigurations of curb line and more
For the screening purpose of projects that make physical changes, it is quintessential to determine the overall street designation & improvement standard for the project frontage alongside streets classified as Avenue or Boulevard via Mobility Plan 2035. When the street fronting a project site happens to be a Boulevard or Avenue & determines that the additional dedication or physical modifications to public right-of-way get proposed or required, the answer to the question is a big yes.
For projects that are subject to the improvements and dedication requirements under Los Angeles Municipal Code (although the project doesn’t propose dedications or any physical modifications), which might include new physical improvements along the streets categorized as Locas or Collectors, the answer to the question should be a big yes.
As part of the City of Los Angeles Traffic Study Requirements, besides the screening questions, as noted above, the answer to the following questions should also be assessed. When the answer to any of the given questions is yes, then further analysis will be required to assess whether the principal result due to impacts leads to an unsafe differential travel speed:
Question 1: Whether the land use project include any discretionary action that may be under review by any Department of City planning
Question 2: Whether the land use project bring a net increase of more than or equal to 250 daily vehicle trips
Question 3: Whether the land use project adds more than or equal to 25 trips to the off-ramp in the afternoon or morning peak hour
