Northern Growth Corridor Transport Modelling
3.2 VOLUME TO CAPACITY RATIOS
Volume to capacity plots have been produced for the peak periods (Figure 8 and
Figure 9). These indicate the main congestion points in the study area. With the
2046 ultimate road network that has been adopted there is very little congestion in
the Northern Growth Corridor, although quite significant congestion in the inner
suburbs. In the Northern Growth Corridor, the model suggests that the main
congestion points will be around train stations due to the high volumes of rail users
parking at these stations.
