Northern <strong>Growth</strong> Corridor <strong>Transport</strong> <strong>Modelling</strong><br />
peak period became significantly more congested as shown in Figure 15. The<br />
specific locations where traffic becomes heavily congested are:<br />
Sunbury Road approach to OMR from Sunbury<br />
Melbourne Airport, all access routes except Sunbury Road<br />
Roads around Craigieburn Road / Hume Highway interchange<br />
4-lane arterial parallel and to the west of Hume Highway at the OMR<br />
interchange<br />
Around Beveridge train station<br />
Broadmeadows town centre<br />
Figure 15: Volume/Capacity Ratios, AM peak, constrained public transport scenario<br />
The impact on overall mode shares is negligible for Whittlesea, and public transport<br />
usage in the Hume municipality reduces by one percentage point as shown in<br />
Table 4. The model indicated that overall motorised trip making would increase as<br />
a result of the increase in car mode share. This was due to additional non homebased<br />
trips being made in the model when a car was available during the day, for<br />
example a commuter driving a car to work might make a shopping trip with the car<br />
during a lunch break.<br />
