to market centers/trading points (specify also major market for products)-desired upgrade in terms of road
type and classification within PRDP lifespan)
v. Availability of public transport (land, water)
vi. Demand-Supply Analysis - Describe the gap (degree of the need) between the desired (With Project) and
current (Without Project) condition of the road network. (Include discussion/comparison on how the road
will be beneficial to the dominant commodity, as presented in VCA, with the project and without the
project.)
vii. Describe the priority (proposed) road segment out of the demand (what is the contribution of the proposed
road segment, especially to the commodity, over the demand in terms of road length ratio)
viii. Describe the Projected Traffic Volume over the priority road segment:
1. Normal Traffic Volume- increase due to increased number and usage of motor vehicles (refer
to traffic count survey for the “without” project scenario and project the traffic volume at the
end of the subproject design life for the “with” project scenario)
2. Generated traffic Volume- increase due to motor vehicle trips that would not have been
realized if the new facility had not been constructed.
3. Diverted/Attracted traffic volume- increase over existing traffic due to improvement.
4. Development/Induced traffic volume - increase due to change in land use due to construction
of the new facility.

* Combined effect of the four types of traffic is about 2% to 6% for urban and below 2% in
rural areas.

Demand Side- from the supply side or current road network by type and classification in terms of total kilometers, what
now are the total kilometers per road type of the desired road network after lining several proposals for PRDP funding. For
new construction, there will be an increase in length of concrete roads, however for rehabilitation, there will just be an
increase in concrete road length and an equivalent reduction in either earth or gravel road length or decrease in both types
to be shown in the table.

ii. Vertical road alignment analysis (describe the terrain whether flat, rolling and mountainous, is it within
the maximum gradient of 18%, is there massive downgrading?)
