Thoroughfare Plan Studies

Comprehensive planning of road networks is essential for efficient traffic flow, safety, and long-term community growth. At DeShazo Group, we prepare Thoroughfare Plan Studies that evaluate existing and proposed roadway systems—ensuring connectivity, capacity, and multimodal integration.

45 Years of Proven Experience

DeShazo Group has prepared thoroughfare plans for urban, suburban, and regional networks, balancing traffic operations, safety, and land-development goals. Our studies provide actionable recommendations that guide transportation planning and capital improvement programs.

What We Do

  • Roadway Network Analysis — assess streets, volumes, and travel patterns to identify bottlenecks and gaps.
  • Capacity & LOS Evaluation — forecast growth and evaluate corridor & intersection performance.
  • Future Planning & Connectivity — recommend alignments, extensions, and connections that support community development.
  • Multimodal Integration — incorporate pedestrian, bicycle, and transit considerations.
  • Safety & Access — identify conflict points; recommend improvements for all users.
  • Policy & Standards Compliance — align with municipal/county/state roadway standards, including ROW requirements.
