Issue — Driveway Crossover

The Traffic Engineering Letter prepared by MODUS calculates the minimum required Stopping
Sight Distance (SSD) of 25.0m.

Council is of the opinion that this distance is arbitrary due to:

a. the assumed designed speed of 30 km/hr — noting that no traffic count data has been
provided indicating that the 85" percentile operating speed is 30 km/hr.

b. the assumed reaction time of 2.0 seconds — noting that Austroads’ AGTRD P3 states
that a reaction time of 2.5 seconds is desirable and commonly adopted as a minimum
unless otherwise justified.
