Previously, traffic counts were undertaken on Thursday 2pt February between the hours of 4pm       -


                                                                                                       6pm and
Saturday 23,d February between the hours of llam -lpm at the David Low Way / Woodland Drive intersection.
Following comments from SCRC that the likely Thursday peak hour is that associated with the after school peak,
the intersection was re-surveyed on Thursday 18th July between the hours of 2pm and 6pm.This resulting data is

included in Attachment B and indicates that the Thursday evening peak hour is 3pm   -


                                                                                        4pm.

The traffic survey also recorded maximum queue lengths on each approach every 15 minutes. At no point during

the survey period, did the enumerators note any impact on the David Low Way / Woodland Drive intersection

resulting from vehicles queuing back from the downstream roundabout at David Low Way / Heron Street.




Traffic Generation and Distribution


The submitted Traffic Impact Assessment used traffic generation rates contained in the RTA Traffic Generating

Developments document. We have re-estimated the development traffic generation based on alternative rates for
shopping centres (for Provincial Cities). The revised traffic generation calculations are shown in Figure 3 and
surnmarised in Table 1.
