Potential Future Connection
TTM understands that it is proposed to potentially provide a vehicular connection between the proposed car
parking facility and the existing drop-off / pick-up facility. This is shown in Figure 5.

The connection would be accessing the public road network, as shown in Figure 6. However, the access
would effectively act as an internal connection between the two school car parking areas; as the section of
public road is one-way only and goes to the school drop-off / pick-up area.

Queuing
TTM estimates that the proposed future access/connection would incorporate approximately 6.0m of clear
queuing area (ie one vehicle) from the property boundary to the first car parking space. TTM expects that
this provision is suitable to cater for the queuing of vehicles access the car park via this connection.

It is expected that the proposal would not affect the internal operations of the drop-off pick-up area. Whilst
vehicles leaving the proposed car park would be travelling in the same direction as vehicles queuing to pick-
up a student, they would be able to pass the queuing vehicles.

Therefore, TTM expect that the proposed connection would not significantly impact on queuing to the
external road network.

Furthermore, TTM expects that the proposed access would improve the internal queuing within the site, as it
would allow vehicles an alternative access to the proposed car parking area.

Sight Distance
As discussed in previous sections of this report, it is expected that vehicle speeds would be in the order of
30-40kph along the roads fronting the development. TTM expects that vehicle speeds would be even slower
when exiting Walter Hay Drive to access the Good Shepherd Lutheran College drop-off / pick-up area.

TTM estimates that there would be approximately 25-30m of sight distance available for vehicles exiting the
proposed car park. This is considered more than appropriate and TTM expects that the proposed connection
would not have a significant impact on the local road network.

Design
It is recommended that swept paths of the design vehicle are undertaken to determine an appropriate
design for the connection (ie width of connection, appropriate grading, signage and line marking etc). TTM
expects that the design vehicle to pass through the connection would be a long rigid bus.

TTM expects that either a driveway design or an intersection design would be appropriate. This would be
determined at a later stage.
