The city of West Torrens will assess and develop an appropriate rating system for use in traffic management as part of this transport strategy. Before developing a priority rating system for LATM in the City of West Torrens, it is worth reviewing the specific nature of the City’s road network and the LATM work that has been completed in the past. There are major boundaries that affect the flow of traffic in the City. The Adelaide Airport forms a very large land use in the City which breaks up the continuity of the road system. Along the northern boundary of the City is the River Torrens Linear Park which again limits the number of road connections into the City of Charles Sturt. On the southern boundary is the Adelaide-Glenelg tram line, which limits the number of road connections into the Cities of Marion and Unley. To the west is the beach. Based on these conditions, there are many local areas that are “protected” from the intrusion of through traffic. Notable examples include: • Lockleys area north of Henley Beach • Road and west of Rowells Road • West Richmond area north of Richmond Road and east of the Airport • West Beach area • Fulham area • Glandore area In addition, the former Town of Thebarton completed LATM plans for most of its areas prior to amalgamation, with many traffic control devices implemented such as slow points, pavement thresholds, humps and roundabouts. The City of West Torrens has also implemented many LATM plans over the years including in Lockleys, Richmond, Torrensville, Brooklyn Park and Underdale. Figure 13 shows the LATM precincts for the City. Known traffic issues based on previous investigations for the various areas are summarised as follows. 72 Part 2 - Traffic Management | Objectives and Setting Criteria
