It has been blindingly obvious since the plans were first published that the drop off area was not going to be able to handle the traffic.
Yesterday I did a quick 3 minute traffic exit count to see how the drop off zone was coping while traffic was queuing to get in.
In the first minute 9 cars left, minute 2 was down to just 5 cars and minute 3 was 7 cars. With only one car able to leave on average every 8.5 seconds due to its design it is easy to see the airport has a problem.
The weird thing is that the zone can handle many more cars per minute when the traffic is lighter but less traffic means less passengers wanting to cross the road.
