Graves St / Newton Road Petition

Calendar Icon 27 Apr 2014

This petition draws attention to the increased traffic and congestion at the intersection of Graves Street and Newton Road. It has created a hazardous situation for pedestrians and vehicles. Vehicles, especially large public transport buses and commercial vehicles, have difficulty turning right from Graves Street on to Newton Road. This causes traffic to bank up and impatient road users to take unnecessary risks and endanger lives. The community has several elderly pedestrian and motorists who find it increasingly more difficult to safely negotiate the vehicular movement.

It request calls for the support of this important community issue and encourage the State Government of South Australia to ensure that traffic lights are installed on the corner of Graves Street and Newton Road as soon as possible.
