Sorry to be pedantic but I would have liked a more recent photo. That photo is from 2001.
There are more clues that reveal the age of the photo. First, Horizon, Unilodge (Spark), CCT1 and the Bob Hawke Building are all missing. Also, observe that the AMP building still has the AMP signage. The NAB building has its old sign, the Grenfell Centre does not have it's Oracle sign, Hooker House is still brown, and Bradford House still has the 'Colonial' sign.AtD wrote:Hah, yes. I didn't notice the Santos sign is still up until you said that.
Yes its a old photo, however only a Adelaidian would be able to notice those differences.

I believe that's one of those "depends on where you're asking about" questions, but Wikipedia quotes this distinction:Norman wrote:Can anyone explain to me the difference between a Freeway and an Expressway?
And when an expressway is landscaped, it becomes a "parkway", which gives us the old saw: around here, we drive on the parkway and park on the driveway. Ho ho ho!In the United States, an expressway is defined by the federal government’s Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices as a divided highway with partial control of access. In contrast, a freeway is defined as a divided highway with full control of access. The difference between partial and full access control is that expressways may have a limited number of driveways and at-grade intersections (thus making them a form of high-speed arterial road), while access to freeways is allowed only at grade-separated interchanges. Expressways under this definition do not conform to interstate highway standards (which ban all driveways and at-grade intersections) and are therefore usually numbered as state highways or U.S. highways.
