1. Why do I need a traffic study for my project?
- It is required to conduct a traffic study for all development projects in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi in accordance with Executive Council
Resolution No. 13 of 2011 regarding the traffic impact of urban projects. Article 3.1 stipulates that a traffic impact study must be
conducted and approved by the department before issuing any building permit.

traffic in the emirate.
2. What is the desired benefit for me as a developer from providing parking and improving the roads leading to my project?
- Constructing parking and roads surrounding the project according to the approved technical specifications increases the attractiveness of
the project, ease of access by its users or visitors and improves their experience, which supports the success and sustainability of the
project in the long term and enhances and supports the transportation infrastructure in the emirate.
3. How to register on the traffic studies system?

• Proposed land use or land use confirmation letter for projects within a development area.
• Fill out the basic information via the electronic system “Traffic Studies System”.
6. What types of traffic studies are required for my project?
- For small, medium and large development projects, there are three types of studies:
• Circulation Plan (CP)
• Traffic Impact Study (TIS)
• Transport Master Plan Study – (TMP)
7. How can I determine the correct Application type?
- The type of Application is determined based on the number of trips generated by the project proposed land uses. After determining
the type of project, the number of trips is calculated using the approved Trip Generation & parking rates Manual in the Emirate of Abu
Dhabi based on the highest number of trips during peak hours on weekdays in both directions:
• Circulation Plan (CP) for projects generating less than 100 trips per hour.
• Traffic Impact Study (TIS) for projects that generate from 100 to 2,500 trips per hour.
• Transportation Master Plan (TMP) for projects generating more than 2,500 trips per hour.

8. How do I determine the correct land-use type to calculate number of trips generated?
- The correct land-use can be determined from Trip Generation and parking rates Manual in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, which
includes examples of each land use and its equivalent correct use.
9. Who is authorized to submit applications for traffic studies?
- Applications are submitted by the consultant appointed on behalf of the developer:
• If the project generates less than 100 trips per hour (CP), it can be submitted by an architectural consultant or traffic
consultant approved by the Integrated Transportation Center.
• If the project generates more than 100 trips per hour (TIS), it can be submitted by only a traffic consultant certified by the
Integrated Transportation Center.
• If the project generates more than 2,500 trips per hour (TMP), only an ITC-certified traffic consultant must be appointed.
10. What are the government fees for traffic studies?
- Review Fees vary based on the type of application in accordance with Executive Council Resolution No. 13 of 2011:
• Circulation plans (CP) for projects that generate less than 100 trips per hour: AED 1,000.
• Traffic Impact Study (TIS) for projects generating more than 100 trips per hour: AED 5,000 + 1 AED per trip for the use of
traffic model, and AED 7,500 + AED 1 per trip for the traffic impact review fee.
• Transportation Master Plan Study (TMP) for projects generating more than 2,500 trips per hour: Hourly: AED 5000 + 1 AED
per trip for use of traffic model, and AED 7,500 + 1 AED per trip for traffic impact review fees.

11. Am I required to hire a specialized traffic consultant if my project generates more than 100 trips per hour?

traffic study by a certified traffic consultant. The Integrated Transport Center evaluated and approved a number of specialized
consultants for this purpose.

- For projects outside the development areas: 70% of the parking requirements must be provided within the plot boundaries as a
minimum, and pay parking shortage fees for the remaining 30% at the rate of (50,000 AED) or (5,000 AED) for each parking
space that is not provided within the plot in accordance with the executive council committee decision No. 6 G 26/2013.

15. What can I do if I cannot provide parking requirements within the plot boundaries?
- For projects in development areas: 100% of parking requirements must be provided within the plot boundaries.
- For projects outside development areas: 70% of the parking requirements must be provided within the plot boundaries as a
minimum, and pay parking shortage fees for the remaining 30% in accordance with the executive council committee decision No. 6

• The fees must be paid before the completion certificate is issued.
16. What are the reasons for imposing parking shortage fees?
- The allocated amounts are used to develop transportation infrastructure with the aim of reducing dependence on private cars

• Article 5: The beneficiary party is committed to implementing traffic solutions according to the plans and designs approved by the
department (Integrated Transport Center) and completing them within the specified time.

• (TIS & TMP) Traffic impact report for the road network leading to the project.
• (CP & TIS & TMP) parking and circulation plan for the project in PDF, CAD and GIS format.
• Undertaken letter in case of parking shortage.
• Traffic study fee payment invoice.
21. Are there any other requirements for the Integrated Transport Center after obtaining the traffic study approval?
