  • Of 2 © 2014 Factiva, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Speed Limit Cut on 18 Hills
    Speed limit cut on 18 Hills roads. By Transport Reporter BRADY HARAN. 318 words 15 December 2001 Adelaide Advertiser ADVTSR 22 English (c) 2001 Advertiser Newspapers Limited THE speed limit on 18 roads in the Adelaide Hills will be lowered from 100km/h to 80km/h. On most roads the new limits take effect this month and police warned yesterday they would enforce them immediately. "As soon as the signs go up we will be out there enforcing the new limit," said the officer in charge of the police traffic support branch, Superintendent Roger Zeuner. "We will be stopping and talking to members of the public who are exceeding 80km/h, and either cautioning them or issuing expiation notices in cases where a risk was created to the public." Supt Zeuner said police would not accept excuses from people - particularly locals - who claimed ignorance. Transport Minister Diana Laidlaw said the rate of fatality and serious injury on Adelaide Hills roads was more than double that of the rest of the state. Between 1996 and 2000, 70 people were killed and 420 seriously injured in the Hills. It will take about six weeks to install all 100 new signs. The first signs went up between Burnside and Balhannah yesterday. ROADS ON WHICH THE SPEED LIMIT HAS CHANGED * Adelaide - Mannum Rd (North East Rd), Tea Tree Gully - Birdwood. * Lower North East Rd, Highbury - Houghton. * Tippet Rd, North East Rd (Chain of Ponds) - Gorge Rd (Cudlee Creek). * Gorge Rd Cudlee Creek - Adelaide-Mannum road. * Old Norton Summit Rd, Magill - Norton Summit. * Norton Summit Rd and Lobethal Rd, Magill - Lobethal.
