RFI - 20210153 Maple St Traffic Assessment

 SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
As demonstrated within this report, the development is able to address the requirements of the Noosa Council
Transport Code. The main considerations in addressing the information request are as follows.

      •    The development will provide a total of 15 car parks, including 3 visitor spaces, 3 PWD spaces and an SRV
           loading bay. An additional 2 spaces are also provided for the private use of the existing dwelling fronting
           Maple Street.
      •    The sight distance from the driveway access has been determined and checked in accordance with
           Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 4A. The assessment has found that due to sight limitations to the
           south from the driveway, the exit shall be restricted to a left out only movement. The sight lines to the
           north are able to be achieved through the removal of 2 on-street car parks which at present will interfere
           with the available sight distance.
      •    Although the bus bay will impact sight distance, it’s transitory nature does not result in a permanent
           obstruction, and drivers’ heightened alertness around buses will reduce the risk posed by the temporary
           obstruction.
      •    A total of 3 on-street car parks will be removed to achieve safe access. As the site amalgamates a number
           of lots servicing Maple Street with a single driveway crossover rather than providing separate accesses
           which would result in the loss of on-street parking, as well as providing off-street car parking for the
           existing dwelling on Maple Street, it is considered that the overall impact will be mitigated.
      •    The parking movements are able to be achieved by a B99 vehicle as demonstrated in the swept path
           plans. Reverse parking only signage will be provided to the visitor parking area to ensure visitors use a
           reverse in movement.,
      •    To reduce risk of collision within the internal driveway from chainages 40-80, give way line markings will
           be provided at each approach, as well as convex mirrors to enhance visibility through this section.
