The traffic generation analysis discussed in Section 3.5 indicates that this residential unit
composition will likely generate traffic in the order of 67 trips in the AM peak period, and 90 trips
in the PM peak period.

These traffic volumes were applied to the base traffic volumes forecast for 2019 to assess the
potential long term impacts of the proposed development on the external road network, The
traffic analysis software package SIDRA 3.2 was applied to provide an indication of the potential
impacts. The results of the assessment are presented in the Sections 5.2.1 through 5.2.3.

The details of the trip generation calculations for Stage 2 are presented in Appendix A.

5.2.1 Elm Street / Diamond Street

It should be noted that, as discussed in Section 4.2, the intersection of Elm Street / Diamond
Street would operate outside of acceptable levels by the base year of 2019. Therefore, the 2019
design assessment has assumed that the Elm Street / Diamond Street intersection would be
signalised due to growth of background traffic. The results of the traffic analysis for the 2019
scenario including both base traffic and traffic generated by the proposed development are
presented in table 8. The intersection Movement Summary data (from SIDRA3.2) are provided in
Appendix C.
