BACKGROUND CONDITIONS
Existing Land Use
The existing and future proposed developments
in the surrounding area are predominantly
warehouses, Depots, Showrooms and offices. In particular, Uganda
Baati is just next to the
proposed development and also Nice
house of plastics factory is located just to the east , also
notable are Banks of DTB, Bank of Baroda and GT Bank , and Balton Uganda and Oryx
Energies head offices are also located just next to
the proposed site.

connect the site to the main carriage way are not signal controlled.

a ) Gaba Road: This is the main carriageway for all traffic from and to the site .
b) Muyenga Road: This road forms part of the traffic corridor for traffic from the site
towards the east and industrial area
:
The Junction traffic counts were conducted for three week days and for each day for a 12-
hour period from 07:00hrs to 19:00hrs.

SITE TRAFFIC GENERATION
Access Arrangement
It is proposed that the development will be accessed from Gaba Road with both entry and
exit on this road. The entrance and exit arrangements are going to be reviewed and
recommendations given as part of this assessment.
The trip generation estimates for the development project were estimated using observation
from similar developments and in this case trip rates from Oxford Station which is similar in
stature and Land use to the development were analysed .
-
Table 3 1: Description of developments considered in the trip generation model
-
Table 3 2. Below shows the trip rates as part of the analysis

development known, the average trip rates (the number of vehicle trips from/ to the
development per unit area of the development ) for the development were calculated. From
this, the average trip rates for mixed usage were obtained.

Table 3-3 below summarises the trip rates results of the development used .
The above table shows the average trip rates that were used to determine the amount of
traffic that would use the proposed development. For example , a trip rate of 0.0013 implies
that each unit area of the new development would attract an average 0.0013 trips per hour
in the AM peak travel period .
-
It is therefore reasonably considered the actual trip rates (Table 3-2 and 3 3 above) and
hence vehicular traffic accessing the development would be as those of the estimated trips
rates from existing developments
Table 3-5: Estimated vehicle trips for the proposed development in 2023
Commercial 4,100 5 4 9 3 8 11
From the table above, it can be observed that the proposed development in the busiest a .m.
peak hour generates 9 trips (5 inbound and 4 outbound), while in the busiest p.m. peak
hour it generates 11 trips (3 inbound trip and 8 outbound .

The National Physical Planning Standards (NPPS) gives guidelines for trip generation
for proposed developments. These guidelines have also been used to help ascertain the
trips that might be generated from the proposed development.
Chapter 4 of the NPPS provides requirements for off street parking. Section 4.1.2 of the
Standards shows a table of the parking requirements for various developments per gross
floor area (GFA) or Capacity. Table 4 2 below shows the required parking standards.

5.2 Conclusions
The report concludes as follows:
(i) The proposed development supports a number of objectives of the transport and
urban transport policies at national, regional and local levels.
(ii) Access to the development will be along Gaba Road. The level of access has been
considered adequate for the development and most importantly not detrimental to
the general vehicular movements on the surrounding road network.
(iii) The proposed development is unlikely to generate the minimum threshold of 100 trips
in the period. Analysis has shown that the development would generate 45 vehicle
trips in the busiest AM peak hour. According to KCCA guidelines this level of trip
generation does not warrant further analysis with regards to the impact of
development traffic on the existing road network.
(iv) Car parking provision within the proposed development is expected to be adequate if
other demand management measures are put in place. The parking provision has
been analyzed at 3 spaces and has been found to be sufficient according to the trip
generation analysis.
5.3 Recommendations
Along the conclusions of the report , the following are recommended .
(i) The proposed showroom , warehouse, and office development does not adversely
impact on the surrounding road network; As such we recommend that planning
permission be granted to allow further development of the project .
(ii ) Car parking at the proposed development would not impact on the surrounding road
network. Vehicles should be able to adequately park within the development. Again ,
based on this, we recommend that the development be given permission for implementation.
