In compliance with VDOT’s new Traffic Impact Analysis Regulations, Chapter 527, development
plans that meet the regulations thresholds will require the submittal of a Traffic Impact Analysis

submitted with the development plans to the Alleghany County Planning Department. The
landowner/developer is responsible for compliance with the VDOT Chapter 527 – Traffic Impact
Analysis (TIA) (24 VAC30-155) requirements. All developments that have vehicle traffic counts that
conform to Chapter 527 requirements will be forwarded to VDOT for their review and comments. The

The process for submitting TIA’s shall be as follows: 1) Submit VDOT’s required number of copies

TIA will be stamped by the Planning Department, and one copy will be kept on file at the County with

delivered to VDOT by the County. Action will not be taken on your development plan until comments
are received by VDOT in the time allowed by Chapter 527 regulations.
