Access & trip review

Traffic Engineering & Impact Analysis in Bellingham & Arlington

Traffic engineering often becomes the deciding review item for commercial, industrial, subdivision, and multifamily projects across Whatcom, Skagit, and Snohomish Counties. AXE supports developers from Bellingham and Arlington with traffic impact analysis, trip generation, access review, and roadway mitigation guidance that fits the civil plan and keeps the permit path moving.

Deliverables

What we design & deliver.

  • Traffic Impact Analysis reports
  • Trip generation and distribution analysis
  • Driveway and access review
  • Left- and right-turn warrant analysis
  • Sight-distance and safety-history review
  • Coordination with civil site plans and agency comments
  • WSDOT and local roadway standard checks
Highlight

Traffic review tied back to the civil package.

Trip counts, access points, turn warrants, frontage improvements, and site circulation all affect the same permit package. AXE keeps that traffic analysis coordinated with grading, utilities, drainage, and agency comments instead of treating it as a separate late-stage report.

Common project types

Civil scopes we carry through review.

Commercial access

Site access and trip review for commercial projects

Commercial and industrial sites often need a clear explanation of expected trips, access location, driveway function, and whether roadway improvements are triggered.

  • ITE Trip Generation Manual calculations
  • Access review for driveways and internal circulation
  • Agency-ready traffic impact analysis reports

Turn warrants

Left- and right-turn warrant analysis

When a reviewing agency asks whether a turn lane or channelization upgrade is required, AXE evaluates the warrant criteria and documents the recommended path.

  • Left-turn and right-turn warrant checks
  • Roadway safety-history and access-condition review
  • Coordination with WSDOT and local design standards

Development review

Traffic support for subdivision and site-plan approvals

Traffic findings need to line up with the broader civil design so comments do not split the project into conflicting design tracks.

  • Traffic review for site-plan and subdivision submittals
  • Comment-response support through approval
  • Civil, stormwater, and traffic coordination under one team
