Detailed surveyed traffic volumes observed during the weekday/weekend AM and PM peak-hour periods are
attached in Appendix B.

7.2              Development Traffic Demand
7.2.1            Traffic Generation
The traffic generation rates are sourced from RTA (now RMS) dated 2002 and ITE as follows:

•       Accommodation (Hotel) (ITE)

        -      Room/Villa/Suite/PWD                     0.4 vph per room (weekday)

        -      Villa/Suite/PWD                          0.65 vph per room (weekend)

•       Retail (RTA)                                    12.3 vph per 100m² (weekday)

•       Retail (RTA)                                    16.3 vph per 100m² (weekend)

•       Restaurant (RTA)                                5 vph per 100m²

•       Hotel Function (RTA)                            5 vph per 100m²

Based on the above generation rates, the trip generated by the proposed development is tabulated in Table
7-1 and Table 7-2.
