Hi Mark

 

The properties on Kabi Road receive a side lift service for refuse weekly and recycling fortnightly.

I have had no reported issues with Cway vehicles accessing the intersection.

Hello Mark,

 

Thank you for your time on the phone this morning.

 

If you would be kind enough to ask the following of your traffic engineering team, it would be much appreciated:

 

1.	Is the existing Council refuse vehicle which utilises Cootharaba Road / Kabi Road a 12.5m rigid vehicle? If so, have they reported any issues with accessing the intersection?
2.	Does Council have any existing traffic volume data for either Cootharaba Road or Kabi Road?
3.	It is typical to utilise 7-day traffic data, would 7-day count data be acceptable in this instance?
4.	Would it be sufficient to utilise 7-day loop data, with a sample peak hour turning movement data?
5.	Does Council have a preferred percentage increase to traffic flow to adopt for the holiday period?

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Kind regards,

 

Beth Meehan
