If the AADT counts for Chippendale are concentrated on one or two arterial roads, the practical impact on most residential streets is low. The key question is whether your specific property is on, adjacent to, or buffered from those arterials. A suburb-level traffic rating of "high" can mask very quiet residential streets that are simply near a busy road without directly fronting it.
