The government finally committed to the dual lane project and that overpass we fought so hard for. I am bone tired from this process but the win makes it worth the struggle. We need to stay watchful as they break ground so they actually follow through on their promises.

Curtis Road upgrade Petition
Curtis Road has fast become the slow lane. Due to massive increases in local population and the success of the federally funded Northern Expressway, traffic volumes have increased to a level on Curtis Road that it urgently requires upgrading to dual lanes each way and an over/under pass installed at the train line.
Traffic delays impact the financial viability of commercial developments along Curtis Road with many local residents avoiding the area due to traffic delays. These delays have led to inpatient driving behaviours resulting in an increasing number of accidents on this road. Between 2015 and 2019 the intersection of Curtis Road and Peachy Road saw 56 accidents alone. As the population continues to grow these issues will get worse. Recently the Gawler East Link Road was completed in partnership between the Gawler council and the State Government allowing for improved traffic flow. Why should Playford be left behind? Let’s work together to fix this mess.
The South Australian Government keep telling us they are building what matters, what matters to the People of Playford is a dual lane Curtis Road, let’s build it.
We the undersigned,
Call on City of Playford, the South Australian Government and the Federal Government to jointly fund the upgrade to Curtis Road to a dual lane arterial road with an over/underpass at the train line as a matter of urgency.

The emails I keep receiving about near misses at the Peachy Road intersection are heavy to read but they remind me why this path is necessary. I am still pushing for a formal meeting with the council and will let you know if they finally decide to acknowledge us.

Curtis road Munno para and Munno para west will need dual rd both way and 2 more set of traffic light as the traffic is getting worse and need to be done asap due to more housing are being build around the area am a local
The delays are frustrating but what concerned me most was when we needed to evacuate due to fire risk late 2019/early 2020 and due to the congestion we were stuck for a very long time.
Please!! Emergency services struggle to get through, school pick up and drop off times are insane, there are crashes and near misses every single day, buses are held up, and more housing and popular shops/food stores are going in before these already existing problems are being fixed!
This should have been addressed in the early 2000s it was a no brainer. Typical lack of forward planning and just a cash grab and quick fix. Clearly a garden bed was cheaper for investors than putting in a dual lane from the beginning.
The amount of housing development in the Angle Vale area has made Curtis Road dangerous. The traffic flow has greatly increased and is now a road to be avoided due to traffic banking up. Too many accidents/near misses occurring at Curtis/Heaslip Road as banked up traffic get impatient and take dangerous risks.
Why the council did not forsee this problem is beyond me.I avoid Curtis at all costs if l have use the road I allow at least extra 15min. This road is a major Hazard!
Can't avoid the congestion. Fix the road please.

The lack of foresight from the Council is astounding. They are all too happy to sign off on a continuous stream of new housing without a care in the world for Curtis rd. Who in their right mind builds a Super School, major shopping center and a staggering number of new houses without a clear plan for the roads? One Game of Sim City should be enough for the penny to drop. ffs!
