Rapid urbanization and unplanned development paves way to traffic congestion, road crashes, and fatalities. Technocity, a technology park is being developed as a part of Technopark's fourth phase, about 5 km away from the Technopark campus in Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of the Indian state Kerala. The project is expected to provide six lakh job opportunities and thus, heavy traffic will be drawn into the campus, significantly affecting the traffic scenario on the encompassing roads. Traffic Impact Assessment is an essential planning tool used to analyze the impact of the additional traffic generated by the proposed campus on existing transport system in an area. This paper aims to delve into the inquisitive understanding regarding the impact of traffic generated by Technocity on roadway segments under the influence of the campus and also on its internal roads. To assess the present traffic scenario, traffic volume survey was conducted at various locations. In accordance with the current situation of traffic and based on the results obtained through efficient analysis techniques, appropriate enhancement measures have been identified for smoothening the flow of traffic.
