[U/C] Re: Port Adelaide Dock Spur Line
In my opinion Port Adelaide arguably represents one of the state's best opportunities in the near-term for both a commercial hub outside of the CBD and a location for medium-high density housing. Providing the necessary infrastructure now will save time and money doing it retrospectively when the p...

Re: News & Discussion: Roads & Traffic
Fine. 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. On the other other hand there are tho...

[U/C] Re: Port Adelaide Dock Spur Line
Port Adelaide on any given day is practically a ghost town and its not a PT pivot point either unlike the CBD. There's simply no comparison to be made. In my opinion Port Adelaide arguably represents one of the state's best opportunities in the near-term for both a commercial hub outside of the CBD...

[U/C] Re: Port Adelaide Dock Spur Line
But arguably pretty important given the gradual shift of the 'centre' of Port from Commercial Road to the waterfront area. Many people argue that Adelaide Railway Station is poorly located on the edge of the city, the same applies here but on a smaller scale. I think in 20 years it will seem perfec...

[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
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...

Re: News & Discussion: Roads & Traffic
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...
