Boosting safety is the top priority at 17 dangerous crash sites on South Australia's roads, with the Australian Government committing $5.9 million in 2023-24 under the Black Spot Program to fully fund upgrades at each of them.
The program funds safety measures such as traffic signals and roundabouts at locations where a number of serious crashes are known to have occurred, or are at risk of occurring.
One of these locations is at the intersection of Dalkeith Road and Stebonheath Road in Kudla where funding of almost $2 million is being provided to install a roundabout to keep traffic moving safely.
The 17 Black Spot projects will make an important contribution towards reducing serious injuries and deaths on SA roads, and build on previous investments across the state.
Black Spot Consultative Panels provide the opportunity for stakeholders to have a say in the project selection process, and ensure that nominations of the highest priority and importance to the local community are recommended for approval.
The SA consultative panel includes representatives from the South Australian Road Transport Association, South Australian Freight Council Inc, Traffic Management Association of Australia, Bicycle SA, SA Police, Royal Automobile Association of SA, Local Government Association of SA and the SA Department for Infrastructure and Transport.
