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...

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 No point, there are few side streets and the road ...

this bodes well :oops: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GNqv5LLbMAAgs39?format=png&name=small https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GNpU03Fa0AMlnTs?format=jpg&name=large So California had more expensive electricity, and now it has even more expensive electricity. Do we know what the cost drivers are? Wiki...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Migration is a big part of rising house prices and rents, but not the only factor. 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 pe...

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...

I believe the air-strip is next to be developed. Direct flights from Parafield Airport??? /s

Bonza to Gold Coast? How big will it be?

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 ...

and it continues ...... Back-to-back-to-back: SA only state growing exports South Australia is the only state in the nation to grow its exports according to latest trade stats as trade with China continues to soar – up nearly 40 per cent year-on-year.
