Traffic Engineering Report 11347
MCU: Agricultural Use Poultry Farm
Milligan Farms
August 2013
8. CONCLUSION
This report has assessed the impact of traffic generated by the development site on the
external road network. An assessment was carried out of the existing road conditions
and the trips likely to be generated by the proposed development and the estimated
distribution of trips on the existing street network.
The proposed development does not adversely impact on the operational
performance of the external road network, namely Top Forestry Road, Old
Ceylon Road and Cooroy-Belli Creek Road. The intersections operate under
uninterrupted flow conditions with spare capacity. Even with variations to the
traffic generated from the development, which may occur over the life of the
operations due to weather patterns and/or changes to farming procedures, the
traffic flows in this area are so low that the development will not impact on the
operational performance of the road network. The focus for this assessment, (as
is the case with the majority or rural and regional projects) is safety based not
capacity based, due to low traffic flows.
The trips generated from the site are below 5% of existing daily traffic flows on the
Cooroy-Belli Creek Road and therefore the impact of the proposed development
traffic is considered insignificant.
It is recommended that Give Way signage and associates line marking is re-installed
on the Old Ceylon Road approach to Cooroy-Belli Creek Road. Signage on the
approach to the access intersection should also include Truck warning signs (W5-22)
and should be compliant with the MUTCD.
In conclusion, an assessment of the proposed development has been undertaken to
determine the impact on the external road network. The additional development
generated traffic resulting from the proposed poultry farm will not adversely
affect the operational performance of the external road network; however
additional traffic management devices such as delineation and signage should be
considered for inclusion in Council’s next maintenance program to ensure and
maintain the safety of all road users.
