RFI traffic updated 2016

The intersection under base year 2018 traffic volumes without the development traffic volumes satisfies the TMR
warrants for channelised right turn treatment lane from the southern approach. Refer Figure 3-2 TMR warrants, showing
in grey the 2018 traffic volumes without the development. In the future design horizon year 2028 in the fully developed
scenario, the TMR warrants for channelised right turn lane from the southern approach, as well as the short auxiliary left
turn lane from the northern approach are satisfied, refer Figure 3-2.

(Source: DTMR Roads Planning and Design Manual, Chapter 13, Figure 13.23)

It is understood that as part of the previous development conditions for the site, that a commitment stands to upgrade the
Elm Street / Pearsons Road intersection to include a channelised right turn treatment at the southern approach and a
short auxiliary left turn lane from the northern approach. Please refer to Council’s Development Works Approval No.
132007.2398.02. Please also refer to Figure 3-3 showing the functional road layout plan by Calibre Consulting Drawing
