Northern Adelaide Suburbs Road Upgrades

A traffic management plan is being developed for this intersection to investigate potential options to improve traffic flow, reduce waiting times for motorists and improve pedestrian safety and access for local businesses.

The scope for this initiative includes planning and engagement activities only. Funding to deliver any potential enhancements would need to be prioritised and sought as part of the budget process.

Community engagement

Seeking feedback from the community and stakeholders is a key part of building a comprehensive picture of how our road network is operating. This feedback is important to help us understand community viewpoints and experiences that might not be captured by a technical analysis. We would like to thank everyone who participated in the consultation activities and provided feedback during the six-week consultation period in late 2022.

We are now analysing the feedback received, along with technical data, to investigate potentially feasible short term solutions to assist in addressing the concerns raised. A Consultation Outcomes Summary is available for community members to review.

A Road Management Plan for the Mawson Lakes area reviews local accessibility in consultation with the community and City of Salisbury. The Road Management Plan includes problem definition and analysis of options that address them in the short, medium and long-term.

The scope for this initiative covers planning and engagement activities.

A Road Management Plan (RMP) for Nelson Road (Wright Road to McIntyre Road) has undertaken an evidence-based analysis in consultation with the community and City of Salisbury to identify priority initiatives to reduce congestion and improve safety. The RMP includes problems definition and analysis of options that will address them in the short to medium term.

The RMP identifies initiatives to reduce congestion and improve safety on Nelson Road, from Wright Road to McIntyre Road. The scope for this initiative will cover planning and engagement activities.

In collaboration with City of Salisbury and City of Tea Tree Gully, we are working to improve access and safety along Wynn Vale Drive, including:

• installation of signals at the intersection of Bridge Road, including a dedicated right turn lane into Wynn Vale Drive and safe pedestrian crossing points (view the Project Homepage);
• installation of a channelised right turn at the intersection of Friendship Crescent to ease congestion during school pick up and drop off times;
• investigation of the feasibility of indented bus bays along Wynn Vale Drive; and
• a traffic study and investigation of options to upgrade the intersection of Wynn Vale Drive and The Golden Way.

The Grove Way and Canterbury Drive junction upgrade aims to improve access exiting Canterbury Drive onto The Grove Way. Currently, drivers turning from Canterbury Drive onto The Grove Way experience delays which can result in frustration and unsafe driver behaviour.

The Grove Way and Green Valley Drive junction upgrade aims to improve access onto The Grove Way. Due to the current configuration of the intersection, vehicles turning right from Green Valley Drive onto The Grove Way experience delays which can create congestion and result in unsafe driver behaviours.

The Main North Road and Target Hill Road junction upgrade aims to improve access and safety at this location. Due to current right turn restrictions from Target Hill Road onto Main North Road, motorists are required to turn left at the junction and perform a U-turn at the Main North Road and The Grove Way intersection, adding approximately 1.6 kilometres to their journey.

$5 million has been allocated to plan, design and construct upgrades to The Grove Way junctions with Canterbury Drive, Green Valley Drive and Atlantis Drive/Aeolian Drive, and the junction of Main North Road and Target Hill Road, all located in Salisbury Heights or Golden Grove.

At The Grove Way/Atlantis Drive/Aeolian Drive intersection right turn arrows for motorists on Atlantis Drive and Aeolian Drive will be installed.  In addition, as part of the Infrastructure Investment Black Spot Program, the Australian Government, has committed $242,000 to upgrade this intersection and enhance safety.

The project aims to improve safety and reduce delays at this junction, as well as help support growth in the Lyell McEwin health precinct. We are working collaboratively with the City of Playford to undertake this planning and delivery work.

This project includes the installation of a roundabout to improve safety and reduce waiting times for motorists turning right out of Adams Road onto Yorktown Road.

We are working collaboratively with the City of Playford to undertake planning and delivery of this project.

A planning study is underway to identify opportunities to improve Curtis and Dalkeith Roads to support development growth in the surrounding area.

The Department is working collaboratively with Playford and Gawler Councils to undertake this planning.

The planning study will inform future infrastructure requirements for Curtis and Dalkeith Roads in the Playford City and Gawler council areas. The scope for this initiative will cover planning and engagement activities.

The Department has partnered with the City of Playford to deliver a traffic management plan at Blake’s Crossing. The study will investigate local traffic issues such as speeding, parking, pedestrian safety around schools and shopping areas and traffic and road safety.

City of Playford sought feedback from the community to understand local residents traffic experiences. This survey is now closed. Visit playford.engagementhub.com.au for more information.
