1 Background
1.1 INTRODUCTION
WSP l Parsons Brinckerhoff (WSP) was appointed to investigate a site for the development of a fillingstation. A study was launched into opening and operating a filling station at the future intersection betweenDorothy Road and Rose Road, which forms part of the Riversands development in the City ofJohannesburg, Gauteng Province.
This evaluation is for a modern filling station with a canopy covered forecourt, a number of pumps sellingpetrol and diesel fuels and a modern ±200m² convenience store, all on a site that has enough space toaccommodate such a development.
The purpose of the study is to determine if the proposed site is feasible for opening and operating amodern, benchmark filling station. The study considers the development viability by assessing the impact oncompetitor stations and the projected volume of fuel to be sold.
1.2 STUDY AREA
The location of the site is indicated on the locality map in Figure 1 (all figures and annexures can be foundat the back of the report).
The study site lies in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg (with GPS coordinates: 25°57'42.81"S and 28°1'30.09"E) and forms part of the major Riversands development currently underway. The property issituated on the north-eastern corner of the future intersection between Dorothy Road and Rose Road (seeRoad Master Plan attached as Annexure A). Dorothy Road is planned as a future collector road and RoseRoad as a class 3 arterial road, which will form an interchange with the R511 (K46) a mere 600m west ofthe site.
The area is located between two of the country’s major commercial centres, Johannesburg and Pretoria,and has long been a region of extreme and rapid development, with the two cities now almost joined. Newresidential suburbs (Dainfern, Steyn City, Riversands and Helderfontein), commercial centres (DiepslootMall) and golfing estates (Steyn City and Copper Leaf) have been or are currently under development in thearea. Given the amount and scale of developments in the area, and with very few existing filling stations tocater for such a growing demand, the region has excellent potential for filling station development.

1.3 TRAFFIC GROWTH WITHIN THE STUDY AREA
With the vast number of developments underway in the study area, a traffic model was used to projectfuture traffic volumes on the surrounding road network (to be discussed in Section 3.1). The majority of theplanned road network and developments in the area will be completed within the next 10 years (i.e. 2025).The projected future 2025 traffic volumes in the study area were obtained from the traffic model. A 3%annual traffic growth rate was further assumed once these planned developments have beenimplemented.
1.4 FUTURE ROADS
The filling station is proposed at the future intersection of Dorothy Road and Rose Road. The road masterplan for the area, also compiled by WSP, is attached as Annexure A. This future planning has beenconsidered for this study.
1.5 EVALUATION OF STUDY SITE
A qualitative assessment was made and the site was ranked according to the following scale:
Very Poor Poor Average Good Very Good
n Visibility: The site will be located on the north-eastern corner of the future Dorothy and Rose Roadintersection. Considering the road geometry and planned surrounding developments, the visibility canbe described as GOOD;
n Access: The proposed access layout drawing is attached as Annexure B. Direct access is proposedfor southbound traffic along Dorothy Road, as well as eastbound traffic along Rose Road. Due to araised median along both these roads, north- and westbound traffic will not have direct access. Accessfor with these traffic streams will however be possible by means of the future roundabout at the DorothyRoad / Rose Road intersection. This access arrangement is considered GOOD;
n Trading Market: The trading market is described as VERY GOOD. The site will be positioned to servetwo future markets; the local Riversands market as well as the transit market along Rose Road;
n Competitor Stations: The site is located in a developing study area, with no direct competitor stations.The study site is thus rated VERY GOOD in terms of opposition filling stations;
n Traffic Volumes: The traffic model for the area projects average to high traffic volumes to pass thesubject site. Exposure to traffic can thus be described as GOOD.
Considering the criteria discussed above, it can be concluded that the study site has VERY GOOD tradingpotential.

2 Impact on Existing Sites
2.1 COMPETITOR SITES
To determine the impact on surrounding filling stations in an urban/suburban environment, it is typical tolook at all existing filling stations within a 3km radius. For new filling stations proposed alongside arterialroutes, existing stations which will share the same catchment markets is also considered. This guideline isused by various departments, major fuel companies and agencies.
The subject site will be positioned to serve future transit traffic travelling along Rose Road, as well as thefuture surrounding local market of Riversands. With the proposed site being part of the Riversandsdevelopment, no filling stations currently exist within a 3km radius which might be locally impacted by theproposed station. No direct competitor stations therefore exist. There is however two (2) existing stationswhich will fall outside the 3km radius of local market influence, but which might share a sizable portion ofthe same traffic stream with a filling station operating on the proposed site. Figure 2 depicts thesecompetitor filling stations in relation to the proposed site as well as the applicable catchmentmarket/markets. Photographs of the competitor sites are also attached as Annexure C.
2.2 CATCHMENT MARKETS
Physical man-made barriers (such as freeways, railway lines, airports) or natural barriers (such asmountains, rivers and dams) create different markets for a site. Considering this, the following markets willbe served by the proposed filling station:
n A: The future transit market along Rose Road; and
n B: The future local market of Riversands.
2.3 COMPETITOR SITES INVESTIGATION
2.3.1 CALTEX R511 (Witkoppen Motors)
This site is situated 100m to the west of the R511 opposite the entrance to the Indaba Hotel (which will belocated approximately 5.1km by road south of the proposed site – with GPS coordinates S26o00’10.20 andE28o00’43.29).

The following markets are served by this filling station:
n The surrounding local market of Beverley and Witkoppen; and
n R511 transit market (mainly northbound, southbound very limited).
High average fill rates were recorded when visited and the site is expected to have moderate to highmonthly fuel sales.
2.3.2 ZENEX Laezonia
This site is commonly referred to as ‘the castle garage’ and is located on the north eastern corner of the R511and the R114 (approximately 7.0km by road north of the proposed site – with GPS coordinates S25o54’19.07and E28o01’40.10).
The following markets are served by this filling station:
n The surrounding local market of Laezonia;
n R114 transit market; and
n R511 transit market (mainly southbound, northbound very limited).
The site is said to have a poor security record, having been robbed on numerous occasions. It is adilapidated, non-contemporary service station patronised essentially by low-income motorists from the nearbyDiepsloot area. Low average fills were recorded during the site visit. Nevertheless, it is said to have highmonthly fuel sales, probably due to the shortage of other filling stations in the area. Due to the potential of thissite, it is planned to be upgraded in the near future.
2.4 IMPACT ON EXISTING SITES
Little knowledge is available on how drivers make their decision at which filling station to fill up, but it isbelieved to be influenced by the same factors determining the turn-in percentage (interception rate) to bediscussed in Section 3.3. Other agencies, such as the Department of Energy, only consider road users’access to a filling station and not all the factors influencing the interception rate.
Some research1 indicates several factors that influence the moving market between competing fillingstations (i.e. when a site gains customers from other existing stations). Different petrol brands play a verysmall role in consumer motivations. The price of the convenience store goods plays a limited role in re-patronage. Aesthetic factors, impact on re-patronage and total customer experience (i.e. the interceptionrate factors mentioned previously) lead people to become more frequent patrons of a filling station. Inshort, it is the station that delivers the best overall experience and service to customers thatoutperforms competitors.
The assessment of the impact the proposed filling station will have on the competitor filling stations in thearea was mainly based on the shared traffic streams, but all other factors discussed have also beenconsidered.

The amount of traffic shared between the study site and existing sites mainly depend on the following:
n The distance between the sites;
n The number of lanes of the roads passing each site;
n Road alignment;
n Number of intersections between the sites; and
n Developments between the sites which can generate and attract traffic.
Shared traffic can more accurately be calculated by conducting traffic counts at intersections closest tocompetitor stations and other intersections where traffic can be diverted. In lieu of such information, apercentage of shared traffic is assumed based on WSP’s experience with conducting feasibility studies andknowledge regarding traffic movement in the study area.
An estimation of the shared traffic between the study site and the existing competitor stations issummarised in Table 1.

Note that the traffic shared between existing stations and the study site does not imply the same orproportional decrease in fuel sales. Passing road users are more likely to purchase fuel or turn into a fillingstation based on the factors discussed in Section 2.3. A summary of the potential loss in fuel sales isindicated in Table 2.

3 Estimated Sales of Proposed Site
The following empiric formula is used by the fuel industry to calculate the expected average litres of fuel tobe sold in a month:
= × ̅ × ×
Litres per month (L) = [Vehicles per day passing the site (ADT)] x
[Average fuel fill per vehicle ( ̅)] x
[Percentage vehicles of pass-by traffic turning into the site (p)] x
[Average full normal trading days in a month (d)]
Each one of these factors used in the calculation for fuel sales are discussed in the following subsections ofthis chapter.
3.1 TRAFFIC DEMAND (ADT)
Due to the site being part of the Riversands development currently underway, traffic surveys in the areaalone would not be sufficient to determine realistic future traffic volumes in the area as well as passing thesite. As part of the Riversands development, WSP was appointed to generate a traffic model for the region.This model included all approved developments which will be implemented within the next 10 years withinthe region considered.
This traffic model was based on the future year 2025 when the development as a whole is expected to beimplemented. The projected PM peak hour traffic volumes for the future year 2025, as per the traffic model,are attached as Annexure D. According to the traffic model, the following traffic volumes will pass the siteduring the PM peak traffic hour:
n 740 veh/h southbound on Dorothy Road;
n 989 veh/h northbound on Dorothy Road;
n 530 veh/h eastbound on Rose Road; and
n 806 veh/h westbound on Rose Road.
FEASIBILITY STUDY & IMPACT ON SURROUNDING SITES 17683
RIVERSANDS ROSE ROAD FILLING STATION Issue1
11
Peak hour traffic volumes along arterial routes and higher order collector routes, such as the Rose Roadand Dorothy Road, typically account for 10-15% of the daily traffic volumes. To be conservative, and seenas these volumes will be slightly lower over weekends, it has been assumed that these modelled peak hourvolumes will account for 15% of the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volume. Considering this, the site isexpected to be exposed to an ADT of approximately 15’300 vehicles per day, and is split as follows:
n 3’700 veh/day southbound on Dorothy Road;
n 4’945 veh/day northbound on Dorothy Road;
n 2’650 veh/day eastbound on Rose Road; and
n 4’030 veh/day westbound on Rose Road.
3.2 AVERAGE FILL ( ̅)
The average fill expected for the subject site was estimated, based on the following:
n Location of the site (low-income, medium-income or affluent area);
n Type of traffic to be served (local or transit); and
n Average fills recorded at other filling stations in the area.
Based on the above, and from WSP’s experience with existing filling stations similar to the proposed station,an average fill of 23 litres per vehicle was adopted for the subject site.
3.3 INTERCEPTION RATES (P )
The turn-in percentages (interception rates) are determined by the following factors:
n Convenience (clean new facility and easily accessible);
n Visibility (adequate time to decide whether to use the facility or not);
n The amount of passer-by traffic (fixed, as per traffic count);
n Type of traffic (transit or local; income level of the area also a factor);
n Other nearby filling stations (competitor sites);
n Service provided to public (car wash, convenience shop, ATM etc);
n Good accesses (proper deceleration and acceleration lanes);
n Location (homebound or workbound);
n Site layout (large enough to provide proper site circulation)
From previous experiences with filling station developments, WSP has determined the relationship betweenthe interception rate and the passing traffic volumes of a site. This relationship is illustrated by the followinggraph and is used as a general guideline for estimating the interception rates expected for the subject site.These expected interception rates for the proposed development are also indicated on the graph, andtabulated in Table 3.

Table 3: Expected Interception Rates
ADT: ± 15’325 veh/day
ROAD AND DIRECTION TRAFFIC VOLUME(veh/day) ADOPTED INTERCEPTION RATE
Dorothy Road Southbound 3 700 8.0%
Dorothy Road Northbound 4 945 1.0%
Rose Road Eastbound 2 650 8.0%
Rose Road Westbound 4 030 1.0%
Relatively high interception rates are expected for the southbound traffic travelling along Dorothy Road andeastbound traffic traveling along Rose Road. This is due to a lack of competitor stations and because thesetraffic streams will have direct and easy access to the facility.
Due to a physical median to be constructed along both Dorothy and Rose Road, northbound andwestbound traffic passing the site will have to divert at the future Dorothy Road / Rose Road roundabout tomake use of the facility, and a much lower interception rate is therefore expected for these two trafficstreams.

3.4 FULL TRADING DAYS IN A MONTH (D)
The definition of full normal trading days in a month is the number of typical weekday sales in a month. Atypical weekday is a Tuesday, Wednesday or a Thursday during a week with no school holidays or publicholidays. If there was no variation in the traffic there would have been 30.5 (365/12) full normal trading daysin a month. If, for example, the weekend traffic demand is lower than during the week, the full normaltrading days in a month becomes less. It is thus wrong to assume that a default value of 30.5 days shouldbe used due to the fact that a 24 hour facility will be operated each day of the month.
Traffic patterns in the study area largely determine the number of trading days per month. For filling stationssituated in areas largely exposed to commuter or transit traffic, 26 full trading days in a month can beexpected. The 26 days is based on the theory that a Saturday and Sunday each only count for half a tradeday, resulting in only 6 full days of trading each week.
The subject site will be surrounded by a number of other developments that will generate or attract a fairnumber of traffic over weekends (retail developments for example). For the subject site, 29 trading daysper month was thus assumed.
3.5 EXPECTED MONTHLY SALES
The estimated fuel sales are calculated in Table 4. A general guideline is used when estimating fuel salesfor future years. Upon the first two years of operation a filling station’s fuel sales only reach a highpercentage (85-95%) of its full potential. The full sales potential (100%) is usually only reached during thethird year of operation.
Detailed calculations for diesel sales were not conducted for this study. Diesel sales normally constitute4 – 12% of the total fuel sales as there are usually other competitors that already cater for the diesel market.For the purpose of the study and considering the surrounding area, it was assumed that diesel transactionswill account for 10% of the monthly fuel sales. Furthermore, the average fill on diesel is more than that ofpetrol, but the profit per litre is lower. It is thus assumed that the typical profit on diesel transactions will besimilar to the profit on petrol transactions. A summary of the estimated fuel sales is presented in Table 4.

Major fuel companies generally regard a new site feasible if the projected fuel sales are in the region of350’000 litres per month. This fuel sale threshold is however influenced by the cost of obtaining theproperty. Considering the expected fuel sales tabulated in Table 4, it can be concluded that the proposedsite will indeed be feasible for the development of a filling station, but only once future developmentssurrounding the site as well as the surrounding road network have been implemented.

4 Other Traffic Engineering Considerations
4.1 IMPACT ON TRAFFIC FLOW PAST THE SITE (SAFETY)
Road authorities have identified the possible negative impact a filling station can have on the traffic flowpast a site. After proper research and the input from various experienced traffic engineers, the BB22 designmanual was compiled to ensure the construction of proper and safe accesses to filling stations.
Preceding deceleration lanes and turning lanes at the accesses will assist vehicles to safely enter and exitthe site. It is confirmed that the access to the proposed site can comply with the minimum standards ofrelevant design documents. The site is large enough to accommodate all minimum distances required. Theexisting road geometry also ensures good sight distances, which is a key factor in determining traffic safetyat any intersection.
The impact of the proposed filling station on the existing traffic flow is considered for the following twophases:
4.1.1 During the Construction Phase
During the construction phase, construction vehicles or even abnormal vehicles or freight could affectand/or disrupt current traffic flows. During this phase possible traffic congestion or increase in congestion,temporary obstructions in the roadway and the influence on adjacent developments must be considered.
4.1.2 During the Operational Phase
During the operational phase the existing traffic flow patterns on the roadways adjacent to the proposedsite are expected to vary and change over time. Filling stations are developments that intercept trips fromthe background traffic as opposed to other developments that generate additional trips. The interception oftraffic could cause minor disruptions if not considered thoroughly.
The following issues should be considered to minimise the possible negative impacts the proposed fillingstation might have on the passing traffic during the operational phase:
n The detail design of the proposed filling station should adhere to the prescribed specifications (andsubsequent approval) of the applicable road authorities;
n Care should be taken pertaining to the placing of signage in the proximity of access points to theproposed filling station;
n Issues pertaining to damages and poor condition of the roads in close proximity of the site should bereported to the applicable authority and custodian of the respective roads; and

FEASIBILITY STUDY & IMPACT ON SURROUNDING SITES 17683
RIVERSANDS ROSE ROAD FILLING STATION Issue1
16
n Appropriate signage and traffic measures should be implemented at the site to ensure safe andconvenient access for passing traffic.
It is concluded that the impact on the existing traffic past the site will not be negatively affected by theproposed filling station’s operations if all possible issues mentioned are addressed.
4.2 DELIVERY VEHICLE PATH
Similar to road safety, the path of the delivery vehicle is also evaluated by the road authority. Thegeometric standards adopted in the design manuals allow for a delivery vehicle to enter and exit a sitesafely. Typically, the entrance lane width should be at least 5 m to accommodate a Single Unit + TrailerHeavy Vehicle. For light vehicles a minimum with of only 3.5m is required.
It is concluded that the proposed site will be able to accommodate such delivery vehicles.

5 Conclusion
The following conclusions were made with regard to the proposed filling station:
n The expected fuel sales for the proposed filling station development are summarised in Table 4. Theestimated fuel sales for the proposed filling stations’ third year of operation is approximately 435’000litres per month;
n The proposed filling station will serve a market that does not currently exist and will therefore not haveany impact on existing filling stations in the area.
General Conclusion
n Major fuel companies generally regard a new site feasible if the projected fuel sales are in the region of350’000 litres per month.
Considering the expected fuel sales tabulated in Table 4, it can reasonably be concluded that the proposedsite will indeed be feasible for the development of a filling station, but only once future developmentssurrounding the site as well as the surrounding road network have been implemented.
