5.4 Year 2036 capacity analysis – Peregian Beach North
Capacity analysis under predicted year 2036 peak hour conditions for both the non-holiday and
the holiday / special event periods indicates degrees of saturation (DOS) at strategic
intersections within the Peregian Beach North area at peak times, with existing intersection

Lowry St / David Low Way / Peregian Esplanade intersection which is predicted to operate over

intersection is already operating with a DOS of 0.89 under existing conditions in the AM peak,
