(5) Determination of Street Type . The final determination of the classification of streets in a proposed development shall be made by the Engineering Director.
c. Intersection Separation
Different classifications of streets are designed to address different carrying capacities for vehicles. The vehicle carrying capacity, posted speed limit and location of intersections have an impact on the flow of traffic and congestion. Therefore, the Town of Fuquay-Varina requires separation between intersections based on the classification of streets in this Article and in accordance with the Town’s Standard Specifications & Construction Details.
d. Traffic Impact Analysis
Development may have direct and/or indirect impact to transportation and as such shall be addressed during the process of plan review for a subdivision or site plan for residential or nonresidential development.

e. Access Management Plan
An access management plan may be required based on the type and impact of a proposed development. This plan will address the process and design for identifying and managing access to thoroughfares from public roads and private driveways for land proposed for development. Standards may include but are not limited to restrictions on the type, number, and location of access points to a thoroughfare, a minimum separation between access points, and use of physical controls such as signals, channelization and raised medians. Such a plan, in association with a traffic impact analysis, is intended to preserve the general flow of traffic in terms of safety, capacity and speed.
f.
Thoroughfare Density Credits
Thoroughfare density credits may be applied where a parcel of land is impacted by the dedication or reservation of right-of-way in accordance with this Article and the adopted Comprehensive Transportation Plan in accordance with Article Q Procedures &Administration, §9-1808 Common Application Procedures, gg. Thoroughfare Density Credits.
