About the project

Our road network provides facilities for everyone to connect, whether they use the path or roadway. On busy roads, we provide crossing facilities for people cycling and walking to make it easier and safer to cross the road. There are different types of crossings for pedestrians and cyclists. This is indicated by road markings, signs or lights.

What's happening

We are installing a new Pedestrian Actuated (push button) Crossing (PAC) on Main Road. This will replace the existing koala crossing near Coromandel Valley Primary School. The aim is to improve safety, access and connectivity to the school.

The PAC encourages motorists to slow down on the approach of the crossing and increases the awareness and safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

As part of this safety improvement, northbound bus stop 35 on Main Road will be indented to minimise queue lengths across the PAC.

In addition, a new 40 km/h time-based speed limit will be introduced near Coromandel Valley Primary School to improve children’s safety and support safer travel to and from school. The 40 km/h speed limit will come into effect once the PAC installation is complete and the static speed sign is installed. For more information on the program, please visit www.dit.sa.gov.au/40km-school.

To achieve these critical safety upgrades some trees and vegetation impacts will be required. All vegetation impacts will be managed in accordance with legislative requirements and the Department’s Vegetation Removal Policy. Impacts will be managed and offset in accordance with legislative requirements and the Departments Environment and Heritage Technical Manual.

Construction began on Tuesday 10 March 2026 and is expected to be completed in June 2026, weather permitting.
