Re: M1 South-Eastern Freeway
Most public discourse of the "problem" seeks to introduce engineered "solutions" that rely on a panicked driver (who has likely already made at least one mistake) suddenly choosing to do something that is dangerous to themselves in the hopes of not injuring some hypothetical othe...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
That doesnt seem right. The Tram Grade Sep program alone is a $400m 50:50 state/feds contribution. not that i dont want even more rail investment, but the numbers dont seem to align. Grade separation programs aren't really an investment in public transport, though. They benefit road users more so t...

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: Cycling
The concrete channel seems absolutely required though unfortunately, at peak periods the water flow through there is massive and the drains are part of the infrastructure for preventing potential flooding of the area, have often thought how wonderful it would be if it could be more similar to the T...

Re: The Housing Crisis
The teal 'independents' will never hold government. They were only elected in elite areas as they're backed by big corporate money who stand to financially gain from the policies they advocate. Do you have a better solution? Continuing to allow faceless men to control who is available to be elected...

Re: The Housing Crisis
That's just not realistic. The majors monopolize the media and the overwhelming majority will always vote either red or blue. That's clearly not always true - there were a bunch of "teal independents" elected two years ago. Collectively, we either agree to elect whichever party hack the b...

Re: The Housing Crisis
The issue with immigration/housing at the moment is with housing costs so high, including rent, housing stocks being so low that we are in a deficit, is that with all those issues making it extremely difficult for people already, do we really need to be adding hundreds of thousands more people to t...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
sounds inefficient to me It works for East coast. Regional rail services are the backbone of this. there's 8 million people living on the east coast Are the east coast regional railways only used for passengers? The SAR network was built for freight, with passengers also using it. Most passenger se...

Re: Riverland & Mallee | Developments & News
Running a train up there for events such as the Supercars weekend, would be a good test to see if it's going to be utilized at all. I'm sure some local may decide to jump on the train and head into Adelaide for example that weekend and come back, depending on how often it would be running on those ...
