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.

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.

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.
