This report provides guidelines for correlating arterial street systems with development patterns and densities in representative suburban areas. The guidelines supplement conventional methods of traffic forecasting and circulation planning in cases where technical resources are limited or quick estimates for alternative development proposals are needed. Guidelines are given to relate areawide suburban development densities per-mile traffic volumes, and arterial street system lanes and spacing. Six supplemental charts provide areawide adjustment factors for different project size and density combinations, level of traffic service, transit utilization, car ownership, nonresidential-residential mix, and freeway diversion.
