planning and organization of the Survey. Later in the year, financial and staffing aspects of the survey were approved by Government with a view to commencing in August, 1964.
9.60. The Survey, which will be undertaken by the Traffic Engineering Section under the direction and supervision of a team from the Laboratory, will collect all necessary data required to determine the existing pattern of travel by all modes of transport. This data will then be related to existing street capacities, land use and development and from a study of this relationship, together with all data related to traffic and economic growth, future travel requirements will be estimated. Finally, adequacy of existing and planned transportation networks will be considered with a view to establishing the need for alternative means of transport. The project is estimated to cost $2.4 million and take 21 years to complete.
INVESTIGATIONS
9.61. Regular vehicular counts at principal intersections and on major traffic routes continued. These counts provide general information on existing traffic patterns and future trends for traffic planning and design. For specific design purposes such as intersections, many special counts of pedestrian and vehicular movements were also carried out.
9.62. Several 'before and after' studies were carried out to measure the traffic effects of routing schemes, special signs and other traffic experiments.
PLANNING
9.63. Over 100 town planning layouts were studied and comments given in regard to traffic requirements. With development in the Colony over the past year taking on an even faster pace, a considerable increase in the number of proposals for schools, cinemas and private development was referred to the section for comments regarding parking, access and loading/unloading facilities.
DESIGN
9.64. A large number of designs for roads and junction improvements was prepared.
9.65. Major traffic designs finalized included a 3-lane flyover at the Nairn Road Roundabout, the redesign of the Roxy Roundabout Improvements Scheme incorporating a flyover for right turning movements,
