Adelaide North Transport Study
We are undertaking a transport study for northern Adelaide inner and outer suburbs to inform future transport planning and investment in the region.
The study will consider key issues and opportunities to improve transport, such as road safety and efficiency, and its ability to support liveability, and population and economic growth.
The study area consists of the inner and outer northern suburbs of Adelaide, from Prospect to Roseworthy and Buckland Park to Humbug Scrub.

No point, there are few side streets and the road is wide. If they want to do something, lower it between Harbour Town and Glenelg. Even better, grade separate the intersection into Harbour Town.A-Town wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 11:13 pmThe 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.

Re: News & Discussion: Roads & Traffic
Some people regard all speed limits are unnecessary. It's clear that the people who understand these things have decided there is sufficient reason to change it. They say it will improve safety and reduce crashes, based on modelling and reviews. I guess time will tell if the crash rate changes.abc wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2024 12:34 pmthis seems unnecessaryA-Town wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 11:13 pmThe 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.

Re: News & Discussion: Roads & Traffic
Surely there are a lot of grade separations in metropolitan Adelaide and across the state that would be a higher priority than the entrance to Harbour Town.1NEEDS2POST wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2024 6:46 pmNo point, there are few side streets and the road is wide.

Re: News & Discussion: Roads & Traffic
I drive through here regularly and you can rarely get up to speed anyway due to people merging poorly or otherwise being unaware or unsure of the limit. I can see how a consistent 60 would be safer.SBD wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2024 6:47 pm

I've been very careful to address the issue, not the person making a comment. Thank you for your considered character assessment.abc wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2024 10:05 pmthere you go again with your asinine strawman argumentsSBD wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2024 6:47 pmSome people regard all speed limits are unnecessary.

I didn't say I support or oppose the change (it would be years since I drove there, and months since I was last a passenger there). I said that the experts consider there is enough evidence to support the change, and I don't have any evidence to contradict them.
