Traffic volume in Pyrmont (2009)

Pyrmont (2009) sits within the City of Sydney local government area. Traffic volumes here reflect the intersection of local trip generation (residents driving to destinations) and through-traffic (vehicles using Pyrmont streets to access other destinations). High through-traffic is common on suburbs that sit between major roads, a pattern that raises noise and pollution levels without necessarily benefiting residents.

High traffic volumes on roads bordering or passing through Pyrmont 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 City of Sydney 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.
