Appendix D. Traffic Report

                                                            Proposed Service Station, 175 Eumundi Noosa Road, Noosaville




Figure 4-2: Warrants for Turn Lane Treatments

The x-axis (QM) and y-axis (QL and QR) on these graphs relate to the following:

 QR = Right-turn traffic volume (vph);

 QL = Left-turn traffic volume (vph); and

 QM = Major road traffic volume (vph), calculated in accordance with Figure 4A-2 (Ref. 3), replicated as
  Figure 4-3 below.




Figure 4-3: Calculation of Major Road Traffic Parameter QML


By using the formula identified above, the following turn volumes (QL) and major road traffic volume (QML)
parameters for the left-turn movement for the 2019 design scenarios were established. These are summarised
in Table 4-4 below.

To determine the warranted left turn lane treatment, the traffic volume parameters calculated in Table 4-4 have
been plotted on Figure 4A-1(c) (Ref. 3). Figure 4-4 contains this plot, illustrated by O (2019 AM) and X (2019
PM).
