The estimated future year 2028 traffic volumes, including the development traffic, are presented below in Figure 3-3.

Figure 3.3: Elm Street / Lamonts Road Intersection, 2028 AM and PM Peak Hour Volumes, based on 2028 Traffic
Volumes including Development Traffic

Both in the future design year and the base development year, the development traffic volume as a proportion of the
background traffic movements at the intersection is less than 5%, at a maximum of 4.2% in the 2018 AM Peak and 3.0%
in the 2028 AM Peak. This is below the general 5% threshold that triggers more detailed assessments.



Notwithstanding, the TMR warrants were examined for this intersection (refer Figure 3.4) and the intersection was also
assessed using the SIDRA. The key outcomes from this analysis are shown below in Table 3-3.
