The bureaucrats finally listened and the road upgrades are officially approved. They tried to ignore our gridlock for years but our pressure forced their hand. Stay watchful to ensure they actually break ground because these people never do anything until they are pushed.

Ease Traffic Congestion in the South - Infrastructure before Development
Final supporters
PETITION To the Honourable the Members of the House of Assembly in Parliament assembled – The Petition of the undersigned residents of the Onkaparinga Council Area and greater South Australia.
Argument
We draw the attention of your Honourable House the great inconvenience and danger suffered by the residents living in the suburbs from Christies Beach to Aldinga who use the arterial corridor DysonRoad/Murray Road/Gawler Street/Gray Street/Saltfleet Street/Commercial Road. This thoroughfare, deemed by the Department of Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (DTEI) as a Secondary arterial road (A road that caters for significant volumes of through traffic within and between regions.) is not coping with the volumes of traffic using it. The infrastructure has not grown with the population. Traffic along this secondary arterial road is so congested that traffic is bumper to bumper travelling at a crawl in the mornings and evenings. Entering this thoroughfare during the morning and evening peak hours can be very dangerous as well as time consuming.
At times when the Southern Expressway is closed due to maintenance or a crash all traffic is diverted down Commercial Road bringing about gridlock kilometres long.
Over the years there has been no consideration to upgrading this thoroughfare to cater for the significant influx of vehicles due to the construction of housing estates either side of commercial road stretching down to Maslin Beach. Construction of the new Port Noarlunga South Sunset estate will soon begin, adding hundreds of more vehicle traffic congestion..
Request
Your petitioners therefore request that your Honourable House will urge the Government to take immediate action to: • cease all new housing development including the Port Noarlunga South Sunset until the necessary infrastructure is put in place to alleviate the traffic congestion - namely:
- the construction of a double lane carriageway in both directions on Commercial Road
- the construction of a new road bridge across the Onkaparinga River to divert traffic away from Murray Road, Gawler Street and Saltfleet Streets.

The government is finally being forced to acknowledge the chaos on our roads because of the pressure you are applying. They have ignored this gridlock for far too long while approving more housing without a single thought for our safety. We have the momentum now and we are not backing down until they actually fund the infrastructure we need.

The road can’t handle the current traffic load, something needs to be done before adding even more traffic to the area. In the event of a fire coming from the south, all the residents will be toast as the bridges can’t handle the traffic with minor accidents, let alone a major event.
It frequently takes me several minutes to be able to get onto Commercial Road from my side street, and at times the southbound traffic is banked up from the Onkaparinga Bridge to past the Police Station at Christies.
Roads feeding the Port Noarlunga, Moana and Seaford area are totally inadequate as is and in the event of an incident on any of these roads traffic grinds to a stand still. Any further housing development adding to congestion of these roads should be halted untill this issue is rectified.
It is ridiculous even trying to get our kids to school on time some days due to the traffic congestion, I am dreading how bad it is going to be once all these new houses are built. These roads need a solution when this keeps happening on a regular basis outside of peak hour times.
This road has been apauling since I moved to Seaford Rise 10yrs ago and nothing has been done to improve it. All the upgrades always goes to the North and we are forgotten about. I will vote for who ever decides to duplicate this stretch of road as it's over due!
Definitely agree Bob.Thanks for raising this issue
Living in this area , we see this everyday and something needs to be done before more housing developments and house block cutting ( sub dividing ).

Why does dyson rd merge from 2 lanes to one after beach Rd when there is plenty of space to have a second lane to goldsmith drive? Why when we turn right onto seafood road from south Rd do 2 lanes become one right in front of bunning? A poor design, inciting drivers frustration and in turn road rage.
