When you’re heading into a rezoning, the first word out of the room is always the same: “traffic.”

Neighbors worry. NPUs push back. Attorneys expect the argument. Suddenly, you’re on the defensive. That’s where we step in.

At Core Leverage Consulting, we produce real, defensible, field-based traffic studies—the kind that cut through assumptions, hearsay, and emotion. Using HCM and ITE-standard methods, we deliver accurate counts, queue analysis, and clear visuals without the $20K price tag of a large engineering firm.

Our studies have been used in NPU meetings, rezoning presentations, and neighborhood discussions to correct misinformation and provide clarity grounded in real numbers (not speculation).

⭐ What It Feels Like to Work With Us

Peace of mind knowing you have real data — not assumptions or neighborhood rumors.

Confidence in zoning or NPU meetings because your numbers are defensible and easy to explain.

Relief that you didn’t overspend for insights you may not need.

Clarity from charts and simple visuals that everyone — neighbors, NPUs, board members, city staff — can grasp instantly.

🔍 What We Provide

Peak-Hour Traffic Counts - Video-verified AM and PM turning movement counts captured in industry-standard 15-minute intervals.

Queue Analysis - We document how many cars remain after each green cycle — one of the truest measures of congestion used in GDOT/HCM evaluation.

Daily Volume Estimation (K-Factor Method) - Using standard K-factor ranges (0.08–0.12), we convert peak-hour counts into credible daily volumes.

Level-of-Service (LOS) Insights - We compare your corridor’s flow to LOS-D thresholds, showing where capacity exists and where congestion truly occurs.

Observations & Best Practices - Field notes on signal timing, pedestrian activity, cut-through behavior, and real-world road usage — context that raw counts can’t show.

Clear, Visual Reporting - Traffic diagrams, tables, charts, and plain-English explanations that make your numbers easy to communicate and defend.

🎯 Why Builders & Developers Call Us

Because they don’t need another consultant drowning them in jargon.
They need someone who can translate traffic into trust.

We replace neighborhood speculation with real field measurements. Our studies often show that project impact is far lower than assumed — frequently 1–4 additional cars per hour across nearby intersections, even for 30+ unit townhome communities.

We follow GDOT and ITE best practices so your data is legitimate, defensible, and ready for public scrutiny — and we package it in a way anyone can understand.

📘 Real-World Example: La Dawn Lane (34 Townhomes)

Our La Dawn Lane traffic study showed that a 34-unit townhome community would add only 1–4 cars per hour at nearby intersections during peak hours — far less than neighbors expected. → Read the full case study
