Springbank Road Traffic Study

Latest News

Update: 23 June 2023

The Department sought feedback from the community on the report in February and March 2023. Thank everyone who participated in consultation for the Springbank Road Traffic Study.

Read the update to learn more about the community feedback received and next steps.

About the project

The South Australian Government committed to undertaking a traffic safety and access review for Springbank Road.

Springbank Road is an arterial road under the care, control and management of the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (the Department), located approximately 6km south of the Adelaide CBD.

The Springbank Road Traffic Safety and Access Report summarises the existing conditions along Springbank Road. Reviewing the existing conditions included collecting and evaluating data such as:

surveys of pedestrian movements;
an audit of pedestrian facilities;
vehicle crash analysis; and
analysis of traffic movements and public transport.

The Springbank Road Traffic Safety and Access Report discusses findings of the safety and access review related to users’ experience when accessing or crossing Springbank Road.

Next Steps

In response to the feedback received, an additional signalised pedestrian actuated (push button) crossing (PAC) is proposed on Springbank Road, between Eliza Place and Daniels Road.

The PAC will provide a safer crossing facility for pedestrians and cyclists. It is anticipated that it will also create additional gaps in traffic on Springbank Road and assist drivers turning onto or from Springbank Road.

The design of the PAC between Eliza Place and Daniels Road will progress immediately with funding for the installation to be sought through the next budget process.

We will engage further with key stakeholders located near the PAC to inform the detailed design.

The Department will also continue to monitor Springbank Road as part of its ongoing network planning and operations.
