-no evidence has been provided to indicate that this traffic has been include in the capacity calculations for the Chapman Road intersection or the intersection of The Crescent with Johnston Street or the City West Link;
-this traffic distribution may not have been included in the Master Plan’s traffic assessment as the intersection had not been, at that stage, been confirmed as a signalised intersection;
- resultant increased congestion on The Crescent has the potential to encourage traffic to attempt to filter through adjacent residential streets. In particular traffic accessing their destination via Johnston Street would have a high likelihood of diverting to adjacent streets if congestion at the intersection of Johnston Street and The Crescent became severe;
- increased congestion on The Crescent has the potential to restrict local accessibility by impeding access, for local residents, between The Crescent and adjoining local streets
