The estimated turn and through movements at each access location noted in Figure 6.1 do not
warrant a detailed capacity analysis i.e. Sidra Intersection Analysis Software, as they result in
uninterrupted flow conditions. As such the existing access layouts are considered to have suitable
capacity.
On the basis of the existing and predicted development peak hour intersection traffic flows, as
shown in Chapter 5, the level of peak hour traffic is below the criteria for a two-lane road type as
shown in Figure 6.1 (RPDM Table 13.4). It is therefore considered that the intersection will
operate at uninterrupted flow conditions in 2013.

6.5        Public Transport and Bicycle Facilities
The proposed haulage activities are not anticipated to adversely impact existing public transport,
mainly school buses. The Drivers Code of Conduct should identify that appropriate caution should
be taken in the vicinity of bus stops and buses.
The Drivers Code of Conduct should also include information regarding the treatment and
awareness of on road cyclists when entering, exiting or travelling along the haulage route.
As further noted, it is recommended that the speed limit is temporarily reduced to 60km/h for the
duration of the works activity.
