Off-site traffic improvements

The Planning Board shall require vehicular traffic created by development in the SMD to be integrated into the surrounding area and to be compatible with abutting and nearby properties. If state highways are involved, such improvements shall also be approved by the Rhode Island Department of Transportation and federal agencies, if applicable. In making this determination of the need for off-site traffic improvements, the Planning Board may require a separate circulation plan and traffic study to be submitted by the developer as part of the master plan application for approval, and any other study or documentation requested by the Planning Board.
