2.3 2010 Existing Traffic Volumes
The 2010 existing traffic volumes at this intersection have been obtained from manual traffic
surveys undertaken on Tuesday 7 December 2010 between 7:30am - 10:00am and between
3:000pm - 6:00pm. These surveys were undertaken by Austraffic Pty Ltd and all movements
were recorded at 15 minute intervals.

The full results of the surveys are included in Appendix D of this report.

The on-road AM and PM weekday peak hour periods were selected for this assessment as they
represent the traffic periods when traffic conditions are expected to be the most critical when
considering both the background traffic and the traffic likely to be generated by the proposed
development.

The on-road peak periods from the traffic surveys were:
    
 AM Peak:         7:45am-8:45am;
    
 PM Peak:         3:15pm-4:15pm.

The 2010 existing peak hour traffic volumes for the above time periods are illustrated on
Figure B1 within Appendix B.
