(1) Yes.
(a) A number of traffic collection methodologies will be utilised including pneumatic rubber tubes stretched across the road surface, inductive loop traffic detectors on Kwinana Freeway and at various signalised intersections providing continuous data input.
(2) Yes.
(a) The Perth Metropolitan 2006/07 short term program counted in excess of 1000 locations south of the river between July 2006 and June 2007. These locations provide sufficient 'before' data. In addition historic intersection data is available for trend analysis as required, and the Intelligent Transport System data will provide traffic volumes for the months immediately prior to the rail opening.
'After' counts will be conducted at selected strategic locations in the weeks immediately following the opening, and longer term monitoring (1-2+ years) is also planned. The 2008/09 program will revisit the majority of the sites counted in 2006/07 giving an indication of changes in traffic volumes.
In addition, Travel Time surveys on Kwinana Freeway will be conducted before and after the opening.
(b) Not applicable.
