Photograph 2 — View looking west from Access

The access driveway location has been reviewed with consideration to the number
of vehicles accessing the site. The existing driveway has been operating adequately
for many years. The proposal meets the requirement for access driveway location in
accordance with Clause 3.2.3 and Figure 3.1 of AS2890.1:2004. Given the good sight
visibility, low traffic volumes and the existing local driver awareness of this access, it
is considered appropriate to retain the driveway in its current location.

The driveway has been assessed in regard to operational performance. According to
Austroads Guide to Traffic Management Part 3 — Traffic Studies and Analysis, Table
6.1, “At unsignalised intersections with minor roads where there are relatively low
volumes of cross and turning traffic, capacity considerations are usually not
significant and capacity analysis is unnecessary’. Table 2 below shows the volumes
where intersections operate adequately and capacity analysis is not required.

Roadway Capacity
Type of Road Light cross & turning volumes
Maximum design hour volumes
Vehicles per hour (two way)
Two Lane major road 400 500 650
Cross road 250 200 100

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The traffic volumes for Cooroy Mountain Road are 500 vehicles per day with less
than 100 vehicles in the peak hour past the subject site.
