MCU14/0056 Traffic Addendum Att F - Information response

 

PEKOL TRAFFIC & TRANSPORT

The surveys identified the number of vehicles entering each site on a typical weekday, between the hours
of 7am - 5pm. The traffic volumes along the adjacent section of highway were also recorded to calculate

the site traffic generation as a proportion of the passing highway traffic.

Figure 3 shows the percentage of turn-in traffic as a proportion of (one-way) passing highway traffic for
each of the three service centre sites during the network peak hours. The data indicates that during the
typical morning and evening peak hours, the volume of vehicles entering from the highway did not

exceed 9% of the passing traffic, with an average of 7%'.

Therefore, for this assessment we have adopted a traffic generation rate of 7% of the passing (two-way)
traffic on Myall Street for both the service station and fast-food restaurant drive-through components of
the development. In the absence of corresponding data for the typical Saturday peak hour, we have

adopted the same traffic generation rate.

It is considered that all the trips generated from Myall Street would be undiverted drop-in trips and not
increase the total number of vehicle movements on the local road network. The predicted peak hour
traffic generation for the service station and fast-food component of the development from Myall Street is

shown in Table 1.
