Introduction
This report provides a summary of the traffic modelling that has been undertaken to inform the
development  of  the  design  for  the  Tamahere-Cambridge  Section  of  the  Waikato  Expressway,
including the Victoria Road interchange and other ramp merge and diverge areas.

2.
Traffic Volumes

1982
Al  traffic volumes were specified in the Principal’s requirements for the design year 2041.  These
were generally based on outputs of the Waikato Regional Transportation Model (WRTM) Version
7, with minimum flows added to some movements for design purposes.

Act

3.
Modelling Methodology

Analysis  of  intersections  has  been  undertaken  using  SIDRA  5.1  model ing  software,  with  all
inputs and parameters set in accordance with the Principal’s Requirements.

Additional model ing was also undertaken using S-Paramics to further inform the development of
the design, and in particular the relationship between the two intersections at the Victoria Road
interchange.  This has provided further confidence in the design solutions.

Analysis of merge and diverge areas has been undertaken using the Highway Capacity Manual
Information
(HCM) methodology.

4.
Staged Approach – Victoria Road Intersections

Analysis confirms that the intersections at Victoria Road require signalisation in order to meet the
Official
2041 performance standards set out in the Principal’s Requirements.  Signalisation also provides
best for future integration with the railway line that may be reinstated along the eastern side of
Victoria Road.

the
Analysis  also  shows  that  signals  are  not needed from  the  outset  and  priority  intersections  can
meet al  performance standards for some time.  The traffic volumes that informed this analysis
were  sourced  from  the  Principal’s  Requirements  for  the  design  year  2041  and  from  the  Opus
NOR  report  for  the  years  2016,  2021  and  2031.    The  NOR  report  indicates  that  flows  are
expected to increase at around 1% per annum from the 2016 value.

under
Analysis shows that the most critical case is the northern intersection during the evening peak
hour, and that the most critical indicators are average delay and degree of saturation for the worst
movement.  Figure 1 and 2 below show how these indicators change over time for both signal
and priority controlled intersections.

The graphs show that priority control can operate acceptably from 2016 to approximately 2033,
giving  the  priority  controlled  junctions  a  life  of  around  17  years.    For  this  reason,  the  design
solution  involves  constructing  priority  intersections  with  all  necessary  infrastructure  in  place  to
allow an easy conversion to traffic signals when they are warranted.

This report presents analysis of the two design solutions for Victoria Road:


The ultimate 2041 traffic signal design; and

The interim priority intersection design.

Victoria Road Ultimate Solution – Traffic Signals

The design approach was to deliver a design that met all performance requirements, offered high
safety  standards,  complied  with  all  relevant  design  standards,  and  was  cost  effective  and
consistent with Waipa District Council’s long-term vision for Victoria Road.

The  signal  phasing  is  shown  below  on  Figure  1.    It  is  noted  that  B  phase  (a  lag  right  turn)  is
included in the diagram to reflect the way the sequence would be coded in SCATS.  B phase
does not run as part of normal operation.  The “Z+” indicates that special conditions must exist in
SCATS for it to be used.

Figure 3 – Signal Phasing

The  signals  were  modelled  in  accordance  with  the  Principal’s  requirements,  with  a  maximum
under
phase time of 80 seconds, no right turn filtering, no pedestrian phases concurrent with right turns
and no staged pedestrian crossings.  Phase times were optimised by SIDRA initial y and refined
as necessary to ensure adequate pedestrian crossing times and compliance with Table A11.1 of
the Principal’s Requirements.

Table  1  and  2  below  summarise  the  morning  peak  hour  performance  of  the  northern  and
southern intersections.  Tables 3 and 4 present the analysis for the evening peak hour.

Notes regarding Principal’s requirements for queuing

Note 2 – Queuing between intersections does not exceed 100m in any lane
Note 3 – Queuing from ramp terminals does not block back to Expressway

The  tables  demonstrate  that  the  proposed  design  meets  all  of  the  Principal’s  Requirements  in
terms of average delays, degree of saturation and queue lengths.

Particular features of the design that are different to the specimen design are highlighted below
with further analysis to support the design.
5.1
Expressway Off Ramps
Off  ramps  from  the  Expressway  are  approximately  450-500m  long.    They  are  predominantly
single  lane,  widening  as  they  approach  Victoria  Road  to  provide  a  left  turn  lane  with  between
1982
approximately 40m and 100m of storage.
Analysis shows the longest 95th percentile queue length for a left turn from an off ramp is 3m.
Act
The 95th percentile queue for the shared through and right lanes reaches a maximum of 99m.  At
this level of queuing, the left turn lane remains accessible.  This is well short of the ramp length
and gives a high degree of confidence about avoidance of queue effects on the Expressway.
In future, the reinstatement of the railway line could influence the performance of the off ramp at
the southern intersection.  SIDRA has been used to assess potential queue lengths from traffic on
this off ramp being stopped at a level crossing.  With ramp flows in the order of 100-150 vehicles
per hour (vph), the 95th percentile queue generated by barrier arms being down for two minutes is
expected  to  be  51m.    On  this  basis,  queuing from  the  future  level  crossing  is  not  expected  to
extend back to the Expressway.
Information
5.2
Expressway On Ramps
On ramps to the Expressway are approximately 450-500m long and are designed with a single
lane.  The Principal’s Requirements specify that right turns are not allowed to filter.  Therefore,
the only time right and left turners could enter the ramp at the same time and make use of two
lanes is during the right turn phase.  This phase is model ed as typical y 12-15 seconds of the 80
Official
second cycle.  The rest of the time the right turners are held.  Analysis confirms that having a two
lane on ramp offers  no material improvement over a single lane on ramp.  Therefore, a single
lane arrangement has been included in the design.
the
5.3
Victoria Road Mid-Block Design
The mid-block between the northern and southern intersections provides for a through lane and a
right turn lane in each direction.  There is approximately 90m of queuing space between these
under
intersections.    Analysis  shows  that  the  2041  95th  percentile  queues  fit  comfortably  within  this,
reaching a maximum of 16m for the right turns and 47m for the through movements.
In  future,  the  reinstatement  of  the  railway  line  could  influence  the  performance  of  the
intersections.  Right and left turns from Victoria Road at the northern intersection could be held
while trains use the line.  Testing in SIDRA shows that these turning movements, which reach
maximum of 51 vph, generate 95th percentile queues that can be accommodated in their turning
lanes.
Released
Further  modelling  was  undertaken  in  S-Paramics  to  more  comprehensively  understand  the
interaction  between  intersections  and  to  ensure  the  mid-block  design  was  appropriate.    This
analysis  confirmed  that  with  coordinated  operation  of  the  signals,  giving  green  waves  to  the
heaviest  flows  in  the  morning  and  evening  peak  hours,  average  delays  were  typically  another

6
20% better than reflected in SIDRA. This further confirms that the design is able to comfortably
meet the performance requirements of the Principal’s Requirements.

6.
Victoria Road Interim Solution – Priority Intersections
The design of the traffic signals set the base for the priority intersection geometric design in terms
of the footprint and the length of turn lanes.  The priority controlled arrangement differs from the
signalised layout only in terms of traffic signal infrastructure, signs and markings and pedestrian
1982
provisions.
It has been determined using SIDRA that the most critical intersection is the northern intersection
during the evening peak hour.  This intersection reaches the limit of the Principal’s Requirements
Act
at about the year 2033, when traffic flows reach 88% of the 2041 design level.
Forecasting future traffic patterns is always surrounded with uncertainty and there could be other
factors  such  as  the  railway  line  or  land  use  changes  that  justify  installation  of  traffic  signals
earlier.  Hence the “2033” scenario is not necessarily attached to an exact year in time.  It has
been  analysed  as  it  is  the  upper  limit  of  traffic  loading  under  which  the  intersections  operate
acceptably. The following tables confirm that priority junctions can operate within the limits set in
Principal’s Requirements, at this level. Full results for the years 2016, 2021, 2031 and 2041 with
both signalised and priority control may be found in Appendix A.
Table  5  and  6  below  summarise  the  morning  peak  hour  performance  of  the  northern  and

Table 8 – Southern Intersection Performance v Principal’s Requirements (PM) Priority
Notes regarding Principal’s requirements for queuing
Note 1 – All lanes must be suf icient to accommodate 95th percentile queue length without blocking adjacent lanes
Note 2 – Queuing between intersections does not exceed 100m in any lane
Note 3 – Queuing from ramp terminals does not block back to Expressway
The tables demonstrate that the proposed design meets all the Principal’s requirements in terms
Official
of average delays, degree of saturation and queue lengths.  Key points to note include:

Al  turning and crossing movements operate at LOS D or better.
the

The  through  movements  on  Victoria  Road  are  unopposed  and  operate  at  LOS  A.    This
generates a significant user benefit in terms of reduced vehicle operating costs.

Queue lengths on Expressway off ramps are well within specified limits and do not extend
back to interact with the Expressway.

under
Ultimately  signalised  pedestrian  crossings  wil   be  provided  at  the  northern  intersection,  across
Victoria  Road  (North)  and  the  on  ramp,  and  at  the  southern  intersection  across  Victoria  Road
(South) and the off ramp.

With priority control, crossings are provided as uncontrolled crossing using kerb cut downs and
refuge  islands.    Crossings  across  Victoria  Road  are  moved  safely  away  from  the  ramp
intersections and provided through the central median island.  Model ing in SIDRA confirms that
pedestrian  delays  are  acceptable  as  all  pedestrian  crossings  require  crossing  of  a  single  lane
only, with safe visibility, and traffic flows are such that adequate gaps are available.

Conclusion

Intersection  designs  for  Victoria  Road  have  been  developed  using  traffic  volumes  from  the
Principal’s Requirements and both SIDRA and S-Paramics as traffic modelling tools.  It has been
demonstrated using SIDRA that the signalised layout can achieve all performance requirements.
This has been further reinforced by the results from S-Paramics modelling.

A staged approach is recommended whereby priority intersections would be constructed initial y.
SIDRA  has  been  used  to  confirm  that  this  arrangement  can  also  meet  the  Principal’s
1982
Requirements with up to around 88% of the 2041 design traffic loading.

Al  interchange merge and diverges have been checked using HCM methodology and confirmed
to operate at the required LOS C or better.
