Appendix E - Traffic Impact Assessment Report

4.0       IMPACT ASSESSMENT

This section of the report provides details of the potential impact that the development generated
traffic volumes could have on the operation of the surrounding road network, in particular, key
intersections in the vicinity of the proposed development site during the AM and PM peak periods.

4.1       BACKGROUND TRAFFIC
Vehicle movement survey data was collected on Tuesday 18 September 2018 for the Hofmann
Drive / Rene Street roundabout. The traffic count was collected from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM and
from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM and presented in 15 minute and hourly periods.
The AM and PM peak hours were as follows:
         AM Peak: 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM;
         PM Peak: 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM.
A summary of the traffic survey data is shown in Figure 4-1, with detailed traffic survey data
included in Appendix C.

4.2       TRIP GENERATION
The expected traffic generation for the proposed development site has been estimated using trip
generation rates from the RMS Guide to Traffic Generating Developments. This guide indicates
