              approximately 100 - 110m sight lines available between a vehicle in the through lane and
              vehicle attempting to turn out of the driveway. The posted speed at this section is 90km/h
              with a design speed of 100km/h. The absolute min Extended Design Domain (EDD) values
              are:
                    Safe Stopping Distance (SSD) = 142m
                    Safe Intersection Sight Distance (SISD) = 183
                    Minimum Gap Sight Distance (MGSD) = 140m.

              Action:
              Provide a traffic impact assessment which demonstrates that the access to the State-
              controlled road can operate safely. The assessment should, at a minimum:
                   demonstrate that visibility at the proposed access point achieves the minimum
                       SISD and MGSD in the Department of Transport and Main Roads’ Road Planning
                       and Design Manual (RPDM) and relevant sections of the AUSTROADS ‘Guide to
                       Road Design, Part4A - Unsignalised and Signalised Intersections’, for a 100km/h
                       design speed (to suit the posted speed of 90km/h). A speed survey of Gympie Kin
                       Kin Road is recommended, to be undertaken in accordance with Department of
                       Transport and Main Roads, Queensland Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices,
                       Part 4: Speed controls, March 2022.
                   provide an annotated concept plan demonstrating the access can be updated to the
                       standard SD1807 type A - sealed for 10m from edge of road.
              The assessment is required to be RPEQ certified and be submitted in accordance with the
              Department of Transport and Main Roads’ Guide to Traffic Impact Assessment (GTIA).
