Traffic volume in Charlestown (2290)

How much traffic flows through Charlestown? The volume card below shows AADT counts from the nearest Transport for NSW monitoring points to Charlestown 2290. Counts above 15,000 vehicles per day on a residential collector road typically indicate meaningful noise and air-quality impacts; counts above 30,000 on an arterial are associated with property price discounts on directly fronting lots.

High traffic volumes on roads bordering or passing through Charlestown have two principal effects on buyers: noise (particularly at night and during morning peak) and air quality (tailpipe particulates and nitrogen dioxide). Properties directly fronting high-volume roads in Lake Macquarie typically trade at a 3 to 8 percent discount to equivalent properties on quieter streets, a discount that is sometimes difficult to recover at resale.
