Traffic impact assessment of new commercial developments in the neighborhoods of Skudai town

Urban areas in Malaysia including Johor Bahru are witnessing a rampant commercial development. The purpose of development can easily be defeated by unanticipated traffic congestion and other negative impacts. This paper deals with traffic impact assessment (TIA) of proposed commercial development in...
