[U/C] Re: Port Adelaide Dock Spur Line
Croydon is close to the city whereas Port Dock is the end of the line and its a spur line so I assume they're not anticipating a huge amount of patronage. But wasn’t increasing patronage the whole justification for building this spur line? tbh I'm struggling to see the business case for this project

Re: News & Discussion: Roads & Traffic
On the one hand there is apparently extensive modelling and evidence from crashes to support the change. On the other hand there are those complaining that a drive through this section will take an extra 30 seconds under ideal conditions with this change. :lol: 'apparently extensive modelling' Scre...

Re: News & Discussion: Roads & Traffic
I can't disagree but I've always thought it was weird to have this random short stretch of 80 km/h road stuck essentially in the middle of suburbia. It doesn't really service any particular purpose and, from my experience, it just tends to confuse metropolitan-based drivers who rarely have to encou...

abc. Seriously. You can't just call everyone stupid all the time. I didn't I'm not sure you can blindly blame "the media" - even social media. I'm pretty sure it was "the media" who told me there were multiple candidates for preselection in the safe seat I live in. It was "...

The speed limit on Tapleys Hill Road between Africaine Road and Sir Donald Bradman Drive will be reduced from 80 to 60 from Friday 31 May. https://www.facebook.com/DFITSA/posts/pfbid08FvkEBPh11ghnNfcgsb92WefQmFrVMN71fSP6N3D7qMiind43GLzpVHnAZKitC5Ul this seems unnecessary Some people regard all spee...

Re: M1 South-Eastern Freeway
Why not just install a concrete barrier in the median strip of Cross Rd? Sure, this wouldn't stop traffic heading west on Cross Rd from being hit by an out of control truck, but neither would moving the stop line for the intersection further east. There's probably not enough concrete in all of Sout...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
Talk about a staggering statistic.

[PRO] Re: 188 Grenfell Street | 64m | 19 Levels | Student Accom
This should've been done before the building was sold. This sets a dangerous precedent for commerce in this state. If the pub business was doing so well then it wouldn't have sold up for a redevelopment. Obviously the former patrons didn't attend the venue when it mattered in enough numbers to keep ...
