EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
Vanasse & Associates, Inc. (VAI) has prepared this Transportation Impact Assessment (TIA) in 
order to determine the traffic impacts associated with the development of a proposed business 
park at 21 Gurley Road in Waterford, Connecticut.  This study reviews access requirements, 
safety considerations, and identifies and analyzes existing traffic conditions and future traffic 
conditions with the proposed project.  This study was prepared in accordance with state and 
industry guidelines for the preparation of Traffic Impact Assessments (TIAs). 
 
As proposed the Project will entail the construction of seven (7) separate buildings that will 
accommodate a mix of office and warehouse space, totaling approximately 80,880+ square feet 
(sf).  The Project will provide a total of 271 parking spaces.  As documented in this assessment: 
 
• 
Project-related traffic increases are projected to amount to 508 new vehicle trips (254 
entering and 254 exiting) on a typical weekday, including 68 new vehicle trips (59 
entering and 9 exiting) during the weekday morning peak hour and 65 new vehicle trips 
(12 entering and 53 exiting) during the weekday evening peak hour. 
 
• 
A review of the motor vehicle crash history for the study area reveals a low crash history 
for all study area intersections, with approximately two (2) motor vehicle crashes per year 
reported within the entire study area  
 
• 
Project-related traffic increases are not expected to result in a notable impact to area 
traffic operations, with all unsignalized movements projected to operate at LOS B or 
better during peak hours, and no notable impact to signalized traffic operations at the 
intersection of Boston Post Road (Route 1) with Oil Mill Road. 
 
RECOMMENDATIONS 
 
Site Access Design 
 
In order to ensure that safe and efficient access and egress are provided to and from the project 
site it is recommended that the proposed driveways onto both Gurley Road and Oil Mill Road 
provide a minimum of 24 feet of total width to accommodate a minimum 12-foot entering lane 
and a 12-foot exiting lane, separated by a painted centerline to delineate entering and exiting 
traffic flows.  The proposed driveway approaches to Gurley Road and Oil Mill Road should be 
placed under STOP-sign (MUTCD R1-1) control, with a painted STOP-bar provided on the 
driveway approaches to Gurley Road and Oil Mill Road.   

 
2 
It is also recommended that all existing and proposed vegetation be regularly maintained to 
ensure adequate sight distance is provided from the proposed driveway locations.  Specifically, 
all existing and proposed vegetation should be three feet or less in height to ensure that adequate 
sight lines are provided to and from the driveway location.  All proposed signage should also be 
located to ensure adequate sight lines are maintained.  With these measures in place, safe and 
efficient access and egress will be provided to and from the project site with minimal impact to 
area traffic operations. 
 
 
SUMMARY 
 
As documented in this report, project-related traffic increases are not projected to result in a 
notable impact to area traffic operations during the peak hours of roadway activity.  With 
implementation of the above recommendations, safe and efficient site access will be provided and 
the proposed project can be built with minimal impact on the roadway system.

INTRODUCTION 
Vanasse & Associates, Inc. (VAI) has prepared this Transportation Impact Assessment (TIA) in 
order to determine the traffic impacts associated with the development of a proposed business 
park at 21 Gurley Road in Waterford, Connecticut.  This study reviews access requirements, 
safety considerations, and identifies and analyzes existing traffic conditions and future traffic 
conditions with the proposed project.  This study was prepared in accordance with state and 
industry guidelines for the preparation of Traffic Impact Assessments (TIAs). 
 
 
PROJECT DESCRIPTION 
 
As proposed the Project will entail the construction of seven (7) separate buildings that will 
accommodate a mix of office and warehouse space, totaling approximately 80,880+ square feet 
(sf).  Specifically, the project will include the following buildings: 
 
• 
Building 1: 10,800 sf 
• 
Building 2: 12,800 sf 
• 
Building 3: 10,400 sf 
• 
Building 4: 6,880 sf 
• 
Building 5: 14,400 sf 
• 
Building 6: 10,400 sf 
• 
Building 7: 15,200 sf 
 
Access to Building 1 is proposed via a new driveway onto Oil Mill Road, north of Gurley Road.  
The remaining buildings would be accessed via two new driveways onto Gurley Road.  A total of 
271 parking spaces is proposed for the development as a whole. Figure 1 depicts the site location 
in relation to the local roadway network. 
 
 
STUDY METHODOLOGY 
 
This study was prepared in accordance with ConnDOT standards for the preparation of Traffic 
Impact Assessments (TIAs); and was conducted in three distinct stages.   
 
The first stage involved an assessment of existing traffic conditions in the study area. A 
comprehensive field inventory of existing traffic conditions on the study area roadways was 
conducted in October of 2021.  The field investigation consisted of an inventory of existing

roadway geometrics, operating characteristics and land use information within the study area, as 
well as a review of available traffic volumes and motor vehicle crash data provided by the Town 
of Waterford Police Department. 
 
In the second stage of the study, future traffic conditions were projected and analyzed.  Specific 
travel demand forecasts for the project were assessed along with future traffic demands due to 
expected traffic growth independent of the project.  The traffic analysis conducted in stage two 
identifies existing or projected future roadway capacity, traffic safety, and site access issues. 
 
The third stage of the study presents and evaluates measures to address traffic and safety issues, if 
any, identified in stage two of the study.

EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES 
 
In order to establish existing traffic-volume demands within the study area, traffic counts were 
conducted in the study area in October 2021.  Specifically, weekday daily counts were conducted 
by way of an automatic traffic recorder on Gurley Road, east of Oil Mill Road, and along Oil Mil 
Road, north of Gurley Road.  Additionally, peak period turning movement counts were conducted 
during the weekday morning (7:00 to 9:00 AM) and weekday evening (4:00 PM to 6:00 PM) 
peak periods, which represents the peak hours of commuter related traffic.   
 
Seasonal Adjustment 
 
In accordance with ConnDOT traffic impact assessment guidelines, traffic volumes collected in 
October 2021 were adjusted to reflect peak month conditions.  Specifically, based on expansion 
factors published by ConnDOT, June traffic volumes represent peak month conditions, and are 
approximately 8 percent higher than October traffic conditions.  As such, collected volumes were 
adjusted upwards accordingly to reflect peak month conditions.  
 
The 2021 Existing weekday morning and weekday evening peak-month peak-hour traffic 
volumes are depicted on Figure 3 and Figure 4, and are summarized in Table 1.

SAFETY ANALYSIS 
 
In order to evaluate the safety characteristics of intersections that are expected to accommodate 
the majority of Project-related traffic, motor vehicle crash data were obtained from the Town of 
Waterford Police Department, and reviewed to document crash trends at locations proximate to 
the site.  The findings of the safety analysis are summarized as follows: 
 
Motor Vehicle Crash Data 
 
Motor vehicle crash information for the study area intersections was provided by the Connecticut 
Department of Transportation for the most recent three-year period available (2016 through 2018) 
in order to examine motor vehicle crash trends occurring within the study area.  The data 
provided is summarized by intersection and presented in Table 2.

As summarized in Table 2, the intersection of Boston Post Road with Oil Mill Road experienced 
a total of 6 motor vehicle collisions over the three-year review period, the majority of involved 
rear-end collisions, or collisions with fixed objects that resulted in property damage only.  The 
remining study area intersections experienced on average less than one motor vehicle collision 
per year.  No fatalities were reported within the study area over the three-year review period.

FUTURE CONDITIONS 
Traffic volumes in the study area were projected to the year 2023, which reflects the anticipated 
opening year of the proposed facility, consistent with State traffic study guidelines.  Independent 
of the proposed project, traffic volumes on the roadway network in the year 2023 under No-Build 
conditions include all existing traffic and new traffic resulting from background traffic growth.  
Anticipated project-generated traffic volumes superimposed upon this 2023 No-Build traffic 
network reflect the 2023 Build conditions with the project. 
 
General Background Traffic Growth 
 
In order to account for potential future traffic growth external to the study area and presently 
unforeseen development, traffic volumes were adjusted by applying a one-percent per year 
compounded growth rate to the 2021 Existing peak hour traffic volumes.   
 
 
NO-BUILD TRAFFIC VOLUMES 
 
The 2023 No-Build condition traffic-volume networks were developed by applying the  
background traffic growth rate to the 2021 peak month peak hour traffic volumes. The resulting 
2023 No-Build weekday morning and weekday evening peak-month peak-hour traffic-volume 
networks are shown on Figure 5 and Figure 6, respectively. 
 
 
PROJECT-GENERATED TRAFFIC 
 
Project completion year (2023 Build) traffic volumes for the study area roadways were 
determined by estimating site-generated traffic volumes and assigning these volumes on the study 
roadways.  The following sections describe the procedures used to develop the project completion 
year Build condition traffic-volume networks. 
 
As previously noted, the Project will entail the construction of seven (7) separate buildings 
totaling approximately 80,880+ sf.  Based on consultation with the proponent, it is expected that 
approximately half of this space would accommodate office space, with the remaining square 
footage utilized as warehouse space.  In order to develop the traffic characteristics of the Project,

As summarized in Table 5, the proposed development is projected to generate 508 new vehicle 
trips (254 entering and 254 exiting) on a typical weekday, including 68 new vehicle trips (59 
entering and 9 exiting) during the weekday morning peak hour and 65 new vehicle trips (12 
entering and 53 exiting) during the weekday evening peak hour. 
 
 
Trip Distribution and Assignment 
 
The trip distribution patterns for the Project were based on observed traffic patterns within the 
study area and anticipated commuter routes that will be utilized to arrive and depart the Project.  
In general 35 percent of project-related traffic is expected to arrive from Boston Post Road, west 
of the site; 35 percent to and from I-95, north of the site; 20 percent to and from Boston Post 
Road, east of the site; and 10 percent to and from Oil Mill Road, north of the site.  The trip 
distribution patterns for the project are summarized in Table 4.

TRAFFIC OPERATIONS ANALYSIS 
Measuring existing and future traffic volumes quantifies traffic flow within the study area.  To 
assess quality of flow, roadway capacity and vehicle queue analyses were conducted under 
Existing, No-Build and Build traffic volume conditions.  Capacity analyses provide an indication 
of how well the roadway facilities serve the traffic demands placed upon them, with vehicle 
queue analyses providing a secondary measure of the operational characteristics of an intersection 
or section of roadway under study. 
 
 
METHODOLOGY 
 
Levels of Service 
 
A primary result of capacity analyses is the assignment of level of service to traffic facilities 
under various traffic-flow conditions.2  The concept of level of service is defined as a qualitative 
measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream and their perception by 
motorists and/or passengers.  A level-of-service definition provides an index to quality of traffic 
flow in terms of such factors as speed, travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, 
comfort, convenience, and safety. 
 
Six levels of service are defined for each type of facility.  They are given letter designations from 
A to F, with level-of-service (LOS) A representing the best operating conditions and LOS F 
representing congested or constrained operating conditions. 
 
Since the level of service of a traffic facility is a function of the traffic flows placed upon it, such 
a facility may operate at a wide range of levels of service, depending on the time of day, day of 
week, or period of year. 
 
2The capacity analysis methodology is based on the concepts and procedures presented in the Highway Capacity 
Manual; Transportation Research Board; Washington, DC; 2010. 

 
14 
Signalized Intersections 
 
The six levels of service for signalized intersections may be described as follows: 
 
• 
LOS A describes operations with very low control delay; most vehicles do not stop at all. 
• 
LOS B describes operations with relatively low control delay.  However, more vehicles 
stop than LOS A. 
• 
LOS C describes operations with higher control delays.  Individual cycle failures may 
begin to appear.  The number of vehicles stopping is significant at this level, although 
many still pass through the intersection without stopping. 
• 
LOS D describes operations with control delay in the range where the influence of 
congestion becomes more noticeable.  Many vehicles stop and individual cycle failures 
are noticeable. 
• 
LOS E describes operations with high control delay values.  Individual cycle failures are 
frequent occurrences. 
• 
LOS F describes operations with high control delay values that often occur with over-
saturation.  Poor progression and long cycle lengths may also be major contributing 
causes to such delay levels. 
Levels of service for signalized intersections are also calculated using the operational analysis 
methodology of the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual.  For signalized intersections, this method 
assesses the effects of signal type, timing, phasing, and progression; vehicle mix; and geometrics 
on delay.  Level-of-service designations are based on the criterion of control or signal delay per 
vehicle.  Control or signal delay is a measure of driver discomfort, frustration, and fuel 
consumption, and includes initial deceleration delay approaching the traffic signal, queue move-
up time, stopped delay and final acceleration delay.  Table 5 summarizes the relationship between 
level of service and control delay.  The tabulated control delay criterion may be applied in 
assigning level-of-service designations to individual lane groups, to individual intersection 
approaches, or to entire intersections.

Unsignalized Intersections 
 
The six levels of service for unsignalized intersections may be described as follows: 
 
• 
LOS A represents a condition with little or no control delay to minor street traffic. 
• 
LOS B represents a condition with short control delays to minor street traffic. 
• 
LOS C represents a condition with average control delays to minor street traffic. 
• 
LOS D represents a condition with long control delays to minor street traffic. 
• 
LOS E represents operating conditions at or near capacity level, with very long control 
delays to minor street traffic. 
• 
LOS F represents a condition where minor street demand volume exceeds capacity of an 
approach lane, with extreme control delays resulting. 
The levels of service of unsignalized intersections were determined by application of a procedure 
described in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual.3  Based on field observations, side street delays 
predicted by the HCM model overstates minor approach delays as compared to what is observed 
in the field.  This is likely due to two factors, the presence of upstream and downstream traffic 
signals along Hamilton Avenue that provide gaps in traffic in both the northbound and 
southbound directions and the conservative nature of the HCM methodology that assumes longer 
gaps in traffic flow to make side street maneuvers than motorists typically require.  As such, the 
critical gap factor in the HCM methodology was adjusted by one second to more accurately 
reflect actual side street delays.  
 
Level of service is measured in terms of average control delay.  Mathematically, control delay is a 
function of the capacity and degree of saturation of the lane group and/or approach under study 
and is a quantification of motorist delay associated with traffic control devices such as traffic 
signals and STOP signs.  Control delay includes the effects of initial deceleration delay 
approaching a STOP sign, stopped delay, queue move-up time, and final acceleration delay from 
a stopped condition. Definitions for level of service at unsignalized intersections are also given in 
the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual.  Table 6 summarizes the relationship between level of 
service and average control delay for two way stop controlled and all-way stop controlled 
intersections.

Signalized Analysis Results 
 
As summarized in Table 7, under 2021 Existing conditions the intersection of Boston Post Road 
with Oil Mill Road currently operates at an overall LOS B during both the weekday morning and 
weekday evening peak hours.  Under future 2023 No-Build conditions this location is projected to 
continue to operate at an overall LOS B during both peak periods.  Under 2023 Build conditions 
this location is projected to continue to operate at LOS B, with Project-related traffic increases 
resulting in minimal impacts to overall delays.

Unsignalized Analysis Results 
 
As summarized in Table 8, Project-related traffic impacts are projected to have minimal impact to 
unsignalized intersection traffic operations within the study area.  In all instances, Project-related 
traffic increases are projected to result in increases to delays of 1 second or less as compared to 
future No-Build conditions.  All Project driveways are projected to operate at LOS A under future 
Build conditions, with minimal driveway queuing expected to extend 1 vehicle or less.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 
CONCLUSIONS 
 
As documented in this report, the proposed business park is projected to generate 508 new vehicle 
trips (254 entering and 254 exiting) on a typical weekday, including 68 new vehicle trips (59 
entering and 9 exiting) during the weekday morning peak hour and 65 new vehicle trips (12 
entering and 53 exiting) during the weekday evening peak hour. 
 
An analysis of traffic operations at the study area intersections indicates that in all instances, the 
proposed project is not expected to result in a significant change in traffic operations or vehicle 
queuing over Existing or No-Build conditions.  In order to ensure safe and efficient access to the 
project site, the following measures are recommended.   
 
 
Site Access Design 
 
In order to ensure that safe and efficient access and egress are provided to and from the project 
site it is recommended that the proposed driveways onto both Gurley Road and Oil Mill Road 
provide a minimum of 24 feet of total width to accommodate a minimum 12-foot entering lane 
and a 12-foot exiting lane, separated by a painted centerline to delineate entering and exiting 
traffic flows.  The proposed driveway approaches to Gurley Road and Oil Mill Road should be 
placed under STOP-sign (MUTCD R1-1) control, with a painted STOP-bar provided on the 
driveway approaches to Gurley Road and Oil Mill Road.   
 
It is also recommended that all existing and proposed vegetation be regularly maintained to 
ensure adequate sight distance is provided from the proposed driveway locations.  Specifically, 
all existing and proposed vegetation should be three feet or less in height to ensure that adequate 
sight lines are provided to and from the driveway location.  All proposed signage should also be 
located to ensure adequate sight lines are maintained.  With these measures in place, safe and 
efficient access and egress will be provided to and from the project site with minimal impact to 
area traffic operations. 
 
 
SUMMARY 
 
As documented in this report, project-related traffic increases are not projected to result in a 
notable impact to area traffic operations during the peak hours of roadway activity.  With 

 
20 
implementation of the above recommendations, safe and efficient site access will be provided and 
the proposed project can be built with minimal impact on the roadway system.
