DESCRIPTION Traffic impact assessment
PROJECT PERIOD 2020

MLEI undertook a Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) for a proposed transport terminal warehouse distribution development located at 32 Dawson Street, East Arm NT, accessed from Berrimah Road via O’Sullivan Circuit and Export Drive.

The 1461m 2 single-storey transport terminal warehouse was estimated to be storing and handling up to 150x 6.1m shipping containers, operating 5 days a week from 7am-4pm, receiving & dispatching goods/household furniture in ship containers & pallets. It was deemed to be a major development with a moderate impact.

The assessment included:

• Existing area conditions – road network, industrial land uses, site accessibility, traffic volumes & traffic mix
• Projected traffic – estimated peak period and daily traffic during the construction and operational phases
• Transportation analysis – road network capacity, level of service impacts, level of public transport, parking, site circulation swept path analysis for access & egress, and transportation safety
• Improvement analysis
• Findings and recommendations.

The Traffic Impact Assessment assessed traffic impacts on the adjoining road network arising from this development and recommended mitigation measures required to address those impacts together with an analysis of swept path for the largest vehicle at the proposed entry and exit points.
