Road Safety Program

We are delivering critical road safety upgrades and improvements on remote, regional, urban roads, footpaths and cycle paths around South Australia. The $168 million program is jointly funded by the Australian (50%) and South Australian (50%) governments over two years.

Works on regional roads and highways will include road resurfacing, curve and road widening, shoulder sealing, safety barrier installation and audio-tactile line marking (ATLM).

The upgrades may include:

  • Road resurfacing - to improve the surface and quality of the road for all road users;
  • Shoulder sealing - to provide a greater sealed road width and allow more opportunity for a vehicle to recover safely if it moves from the travelling lane;
  • Safety barrier installation - to protect drivers from road side hazards  in the event of run-off road type crashes;
  • Road and curve widening - to improve safety for all road users and access for heavy vehicles;
  • Audio tactile line marking (ATLM) – to reduce the likelihood of run off road crashes by alerting drivers when they are drifting out of their lane; and
  • Footpath and cycle path upgrades - to enhance safety and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists.

These upgrades will deliver improvements to freight movements, support regional economic growth and improved safety for all road users.
