This access has limited car movements and provides access to only 6 car parkingspaces. The access is unsignalised and all movements are permitted.Access to and from the main (hardstand public) car park are via two points. Entry is via a left turn slip lane offSelby Street (the southbound carriageway) at the northern end of the car park (south of Kirwan Street). Exit is viaa left out only junction (with two lanes) located at the southern end of the existing car park (north of WhitfieldStreet).Vehicles accessing the site from the south along Selby Street are currently undertaking u-turn movements at theAlderbury Street intersection. Vehicles exiting the site and wanting to head north along Selby Street are makingu-turns at the signalised intersection with Hay Street. Alternatively, some vehicles have been seen to make illegalright turns from the car park exit, across the median, to head north. The demands for both access from the south,and egress to the north, are believed to be suppressed because of the associated movement restrictions.Current Traffic DemandThe arrivals and departures to and from the hardstand public car park were surveyed on Saturday, 6 August 2011during a typical PNA event. Almost 3,400 vehicles entered and exited the car park between 7:00am and 7:00pm.The observed arrivals and departures are illustrated in Figure 8 in 5 minute intervals. The peak 15-minutearrivals were 250 vehicles (7:45-8:00am) and the peak 15-minute departures were 298 (5:15-5:30pm). From thisdata, the estimate average dwelling time (departure time minus arrival time) for vehicles using the car park is 90minutes.T:\60218676 - Wembley PK TA\8 Issued Docs\8.1 Reports\Comprehensive Integrated Access RevF.docxRevision F - 8 February 2012
