Intersection Operations


Updated SIDRA analyses were conducted to quantify the existing and future traffic operations at the David Low
Way / Woodland Drive intersection and the Woodland Drive / Rufous Street intersection. These analyses were
based on the updated traffic generation rates and traffic survey data in the case of the Thursday evening peak

hour.


The proportion of heavy vehicles and the peak flow factors at the intersections have been derived from the traffic

count survey data at the David Low Way / Woodland Drive intersection and these are shown in Table 2.

As required by the IR, we attempted to calibrate the David Low Way / Woodland Drive intersection to the

observed queue lengths from the traffic survey. The Exiting Flow Effect parameter was increased to 100% on the

Woodland Drive approach. However, this had no impact on the base model queues. Gap acceptance parameters
