            Existing Site Access



Elm Street is an arterial road and forms part of the state-controlled road network administered by TMR. It
runs south-east from the Bruce Highway to the town of Cooroy. In vicinity of the subject site, Elm Street
has a posted speed limit of 80km/h and is undivided with one lane of traffic in each direction.

Rose Gum Road is a local access road, which runs south from a priority-controlled T-intersection with Elm
Street, where it forms the minor approach. The initial 20m from the intersection is sealed but further south,
Rose Gum Road is unsealed. The formed section of Rose Gum Road terminates at the northern boundary
of the subject site, although the road corridor continues to the south-east.

The Elm Street / Rose Gum Road intersection currently has no formal turn treatments on either the major
or minor roads. As shown in Figure 2, the available sight distance at the intersection is restricted to the
east by the horizontal and vertical alignment of Elm Street and vegetation within the road reserve. We
estimate that there is approximately of 160m safe intersection sight distance (SISD) available to the east.
This available SISD would not meet the desirable 214m identified in the Austroads Guide to Road Design
Part 4A: Unsignalised and Signalised Intersections for a 90km/hr design speed (based on the normal
design domain, with a two second driver reaction time and assuming no corrections for grade). To the
west, we estimate the available sight distance to be in the order of 250m, which would meet Austroads
minimum requirements.
