City of Playford Report for Munno Para

5.2.1 Advisory Speed Signage
The installation of ‘Remember 50 km/h’ advisory speed signs by Council (similar to that shown in Figure 15)
at the entrances to the study area would assist with reminding motorists to travel at slower speeds.
The recommended locations to implement the signs are on Alawoona Road, Karri Street, Myall Avenue,
and Mingari Street.

5.2.2 Lane Narrowing / Kerb Extensions / Raised Kerbs
The streets in the study area are in general very wide with limited line / lane markings. The collector
roads are line marked to delineate the centre of the carriageway with no formalised on-street parking.
Narrowing the trafficable carriageway to about 6 (minimum) to 7 (maximum) metres (similar to that
shown in Figure 16) would facilitate in reducing speeds, improve delineation and minimise pedestrian
crossing distances. The trafficable carriageway on a number of streets within the study area could be
narrowed through:
The introduction of ‘line marked’ dedicated on-street parking.
Introduction of kerb extensions / Raised Kerbs at intersections and / or mid-block.
The recommended streets to implement lane narrowing / kerb extensions (and / or improve existing line
markings) include Carcoola Road, Maltarra Road and Alawoona Road.
Line marking is a relatively inexpensive exercise and can be applied to all suggested streets. The
installation of kerb extensions / protuberances however, can be expensive. Careful consideration has
been given to where they are installed to optimise the effectiveness of the treatment from both a benefit
and cost perspective.
