* Between 30 and 50 car equivalent vehicle movements per day and compliance with the road conditions as shown on Diagram B.

** Up to 30 car equivalent vehicle movements per day.

Car Equivalent Vehicle Movements are defined as being the following within any given day:

(a) 1 car to and from the site = 2 car equivalent movements

(b) 1 truck to and from the site = 6 car equivalent movements

(d) A single residential dwelling is deemed to generate 8 car equivalent movements.

Non-compliance with the above performance criteria will occur when:

(a) The number of car equivalent vehicle movements per day is greater on any 3 days of a given week; or

(b) The number of car equivalent vehicle movements is double that specified on any given day.
