Black Spot Program to improve road safety

Monday 29 December 2025

The program provides funding for safety improvements at sites with a history of serious crashes or where there is a high risk of such incidents occurring.

The Black Spot Program for 2025-26 has allocated funds for 20 projects across the state, with almost 60 per cent of the total funding allocated to regional locations.

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport will be responsible for 9 of the projects, while local councils will deliver the remaining eleven projects.

Safety improvements in this latest round of funding include new roundabouts, junction upgrades, traffic signals, shoulder sealing, and safety barriers.

These 20 Black Spot projects will make an important contribution towards reducing serious injuries and deaths on South Australian roads.

The sites were recommended by the South Australian Black Spot Consultative Panel.

The Consultative Panel includes representatives from the Traffic Management Association of Australia, SA Police, SA Freight Council, Bicycle SA, the Local Government Association, and the Royal Automobile Association.

The panel considers all eligible nominations received and ensures that locations of the highest priority and significance to local communities are recommended for funding.

Nominations for Black Spot locations are invited from state governments, local councils, community groups and associations, road user groups, industry and individuals. Nominations can be made at any time, but with only one assessment process per year.
