South Australia will receive $8.9 million under the Australian Government’s 2024-25 Black Spot Program to improve safety at 13 dangerous crash sites across the state.
The program funds safety measures at locations where a number of serious crashes are known to have occurred, or are at risk of occurring.
Safety improvements being funded under this latest round of works include a new roundabout, safety barriers, improved line-marking and a scramble crossing.

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport said these 13 Black Spot projects will make an “important contribution” towards reducing serious injuries and deaths on South Australian roads, on which 117 lives were lost in 2023.
The sites were consulted through a Black Spot Consultative panel.
Black Spot Consultative Panels provide the opportunity for stakeholders to have a say in the project selection process and ensure that nominations of the highest priority and importance to the local community are recommended for approval.
The South Australian Consultative Panel includes representatives from the Traffic Management Association of Australia, SA Police, SA Freight Council, Bicycle SA, Local Government Associations and the Royal Automobile Association.
