Traffic Impact Assessment
Why Required?
New developments
P d / attract new traffic

Produce/
ffi
Production: Residences
Attraction: Shops, Offices, Schools, Hospitals etc. etc.
Changes in traffic pattern
Mode diversions
Route diversions
Peaking time, etc.
9/22/2010
Why Required?
Any large land development near major junctions and/or

major urban arterials requires careful investigation of the
access facilities to and from adjacent roadways
The evaluation of any negative traffic impacts must be

carefully reviewed and if necessary, mitigation strategies
must be implemented to ensure trouble free traffic
operations in and around such a development
Safe and smooth traffic operations in and around

commercial developments are not only essential for the
community at large, but are also critical for a development
to succeed

Andalusia Traffic Impact Study

Background
--
The Kinan International for Real Estate Development

Company has initiated its Andalusia project in Jeddah,
Jeddah

Site
--Project
The project is located in the north-east corner of the Tariq

Bin Zeyad intersection of Al Andalus Street and King
Abdullah Road. The intersection is a roundabout and is
also known as ship roundabout.
The project site is surrounded by two major arterials- AlAndalus Street on the west and King Abdullah Road on
the south.
south While there is a narrow road on the east side
(back of the project), there are some private corporate
buildings and government offices on the north of the
project site.

--Project
The access to the project site from west (front) is through the
service road of Al
Al-Andalus
Andalus street. To access the service road of Al
AlAndalus street, one needs to use the service road of King Abdullah
road. The people can enter the project site from the back using the
inner circulating streets.

Analysis
--Data Collection and
The data collected are of two types:

Office Data: include base maps of the study area,
area the
architectural plans showing the layouts of the different
components of the project, the digitized drawings of the street
networks within the study area, and historic data on some streets
within the study area. The historic data was used to determine the
natural growth of traffic in the surrounding areas of the project.
Field Data: include roadway data- number of lanes, width of
each lane,
lane width of the median,
median exclusive turning lanes,
lanes shoulders,

etc.); control condition data- whether the intersection is signalized
or not, determining the cycle time, phases, etc, and traffic datamidsection traffic volume as well as turning proportions at the
study intersections.

9/22/2010

Analysis
Automatic and Manual counting techniques are used

to collect traffic volume data at midsections and at
the study intersections, respectively.
Automatic counting period was continuous
count for seven full days in a week.
The manual counting (3 hours during the peak
period) was adopted to determine the turning
proportion of traffic at all approaches of the
study intersections.

-Estimation of Traffic Demand of the
Project
The project is likely to generate significant amount of trips during the
peak hours. Since this is a mixed used development (see the table below),
both production and attraction of trips will occur.
Trips produced in the project area will have their destinations in other
parts of the city, and trips attracted to the project site will have their
destinations at the project site.

The four-step transportation modeling techniques are

used Since the trips generated at the project site are
used.

step is absent.
The steps followed for the demand estimation and for
the determination of the additional turning traffic
volume at the study intersections are:
Estimation of trip generation at the project.

Distribution of these trips among all the city districts and zones.
Assigning these trips to the city and study area street network to
determine the traffic volume at the study intersections.
45

Project
Trip rates for different types of land uses within the

project area were carefully selected so that they
represent the local conditions.
Several international publications as well as local trip
generation study results were reviewed in this regard.

Project
To facilitate the trip distribution modeling, the city of

Jeddah was divided into 19 Traffic Analysis Zones
(TAZs).
A simple gravity model was used to distribute the trips.
Travel time between each TAZ and the site was used to
calculate the travel friction between each zone and the
project
p

The traffic assignment was done assuming that the
travelers will choose the minimum time paths.

The results of the assignment

showed that 40% of the total

57

Conditions
In 2017 due to the natural growth of traffic, except the

Fayeed Ur Rahman and Fayeed Al Muhabbah intersection,
seven other study intersections will be operating at beyond
their capacity (i.e., LOS F).
The impact of the project on the surrounding area is
significant.
In 2017, considering the impact of the project and the
natural growth of traffic,
traffic the intersections those are most
affected (as compared to the existing condition) are the three
intersections on Fayeed Ur Rahman street- intersections
number 2, 6, and 7. This is because the entering and exiting
traffic from the project will be using the streets behind (east
side) the project.
58
29
9/22/2010

Conditions
The total network delay will increase, due to both

natural growth and project generated traffic,
traffic from 435
hours in 2007 to 3723 hours in 2017, which is an
increase of more than eight times.
The performance of the network, measured by the
performance index, showed that the network
performance will deteriorate by more than seven times
(
(500.5
in
i 2007 as compared
d to 3845.2 iin 2017).
)
59

Conditions
Alternative No. 1 (widening of the street bordering the project in

project
j site from the service
the east side and a direct access to the p
road of King Abdullah Road) cannot improve the traffic
operating condition at the major intersections in the study area.
Alternative 1, however, could improve the quality of traffic flow
of the three minor intersections in the back of the project on
Fayeed Ur Rahman street (delay at Maadi and Fayeed Ur Rahman
intersection reduced from 26 sec/veh to 22 sec/veh, and delay at
Fayeed Ur Rahman and Fayeed Al Muhabbah intersection
reduced from 22 sec/veh to only 9 sec/veh).
This Alternative could also increase the network performance by
4.5%.
60
30
9/22/2010

Conditions
Implementation of Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 in 2012

can improve the quality of traffic flow on Fayeed Ur
Rahman and at the Tarik Bin Zyead roundabout with a
consequent 12.5% increase in network performance.
The network performance in 2017 can be significantly
increased if Alternative 3 along with the other two
alternatives are implemented. The analyses showed that the
performance could be increased by
y more than
network p
three times as compared to the network performance in the

-Parking
Requirements
Numbers of parking spaces provided for the apartments

(459) and office areas (2080) are more than the standard
requirements of 400 and 2050, respectively.
The numbers of parking spaces provided for the shoppers
(750) are a little lower than the standard requirement of 924
parking spaces.
The number of parking spaces provided for the hotel (200),
however is considerably less than the standard requirement
however,
of 500 parking spaces.
The comparison shows that there is a total deficiency of 385
parking spaces (3874 required, 3489 provided).

Therefore, the parking spaces provided in the

Recommendations
It is recommended that the Andalusia
Project proposal
submitted by Kinan International should be approved.
The following network improvement measures, however,
are also recommended to be implemented during a time
period of 10 years (from 2007-2017):
The road bordering the project in the east side should
be widened by 5 meters to a total width of 20 meters to
facilitate better circulation of traffic.

Provide access (entry) to the project in the south side so
that the project traffic can enter directly from the
service road of King Abdullah Road.

Recommendations
Construct an underpass (tunnel)
on Al-Andalus
Street at Tarik Bin Zyead roundabout to preserve
the mobility function of this major arterial in
future. When the tunnel is constructed, the
intersection of Andalus & Maadi, and intersection
of Amanah & Al Falah must be closed.
