摘要: The purpose of this document is to place into the hands of local commission members practical administrative tools that can help to match the inevitable growth of traffic volumes with the capacity of existing and planned roadways. These techniques are an important supplement to publicly financed increases in roadway capacity and cannot simply be substituted for such investments. Since this topic deals with the intensity of development, care has been taken to balance the interests of the public and private sectors. Section 1 reviews the legal basis for traffic planning. A simplified history of the relationships between traffic, planning and zoning in Connecticut is given. The goal of this section is to identify the ample authority that exists for municipal use of the practical techniques offered in Sections 2 and 3. Section 2 is designed to increase the planning or zoning commission members' understanding of site specific traffic impact analysis techniques in order to make full and proper use of the authority outlined in Section 1. Whether a community decides to make use of the model administrative techniques offered in Section 3, the submission of traffic impact data by developers in support of permit applications will undoubtedly continue. Thus, use of this Section will help to upgrade the local commission members' ability to take informed positions on the traffic impact statements prepared for proposed developments. Section 3 offers model administrative techniques, based upon the authority defined in Section 1, for addressing land use-transportation-congestion relationships and how longer range goals for congestion avoidance can be reinforced within local planning and zoning. Relationships of the local traffic planning process to the state's authority to regulate traffic is reviewed, along with a discussion of driveway permits.
