MAIN NORTH ROAD, EVANSTON PARK

In reply to the Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (29 October 2008).

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy): The Minister for Transport has advised:

1. The acceleration lane for traffic turning right from Kreig Road onto Main North Road will not be reinstated.

2. The previous acceleration lane and merge area for motorists turning right from Kreig Road onto Main North Road was replaced with a more conventional painted median scheme in accordance with the recommendations of the 'Main North Road/Adelaide Road—Gawler Road Management Plan'. The distance from Krieg Road, to the southern entrance of the Bulky Goods Development is insufficient to meet the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure design standards for an acceleration lane.
