The results of analysis for the existing traffic flows at the intersection indicate the
intersection operates adequately in the morning and afternoon peak periods. The
limit for acceptable operations and practical capacity (degree of saturation) for a
roundabout is 0.850 and analysis indicates the intersection is currently operating with
spare capacity and acceptable queues and delays.


7.4    Summary of Network Conditions

The operational performance of the external road network during school morning and
afternoon peak hour conditions is acceptable and within current guidelines. The new
staff car park does not adversely impact the external roundabout operations. There is
no demonstrated requirement to provide an internal connection within the college to
alter the current distribution of traffic to the external road network. An internal
connection (other than for emergency) is also not supported due to conflicts with
student pedestrian movements and concerns around student safety. Analysis
indicates there is ample capacity within the road network, namely Walter Hay Drive
and the roundabouts to cater for any minor changes to school traffic behaviour
patterns as a result of trips associated with the new staff car park.
