Traffic is always a primary concern for local leaders and residents. It’s important to understand how your development will impact local roadways, and you might need to plan for impact fees that will be used to underwrite the cost of new road infrastructure. If your development is going to increase traffic on local roads, even if those impacts are felt a mile or more from your development, you may be expected to underwrite the cost of creating new road improvements or the addition of new traffic signals. More likely than not, you’ll be expected to conduct a traffic impact analysis to assure there are no surprises when it comes to traffic.
