Traffic volume in South Granville (2142)

South Granville (2142) sits within the Cumberland local government area. Traffic volumes here reflect the intersection of local trip generation (residents driving to destinations) and through-traffic (vehicles using South Granville 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 South Granville 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 Cumberland 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.
