| | (volume of ) cross-traffic flow | Explanation:
If I've understood your context correctly, you're dealing with the planning stages and the attendant considerations in terms of road traffic.
I'm wondering if what is meant here is something that you find happening at any construction site: stalled traffic and dangerous build-up at the temporary entry and exit points to the site.
It must be possible in advance, from a logistical viewpoint, to calculate the volume of traffic entering and leaving the site and in/from which geographical direction and what repercussions this might entail for 'normal' traffic using the road network that already exists. We're all familiar with the problems/tailbacks etc. encountered when a lorry tries to join the road, let alone when they want to cross the flow of traffic either to enter or leave a site.
I'd go for this idea and suggest:
'projected volume of[=Anteil der] cross-traffic flow' (or something along those lines). |

| Grading comment seems like the most logical (turned around) but I'm still not sure of this answer especially given the comment by train expert David Moore below. I'll enter this in the glossary with this caveat.
