About the project

As part of the South Australian Government’s commitment to road and rail safety, we are working to improve safety, access and traffic flow at the Grange Road, Hawthorn level crossing.

In the last four years (2019 to 2023) there were 49 incidents reported to us involving vehicles (including buses) queuing across the level crossing, entering the level crossing, or colliding with a boom gate, when a train is approaching.

We are investigating options including installing traffic signals to improve safety and access in the area.

Community engagement

We sought feedback from the community and key stakeholders to better understand local experiences at the Grange Road, Hawthorn Level Crossing. This included how people move through the area as a motorist, pedestrian, cyclist or public transport commuter.

The engagement process was from June 2024 to July 2024.

Thankyou you to all who gave feedback during this period. We received 99 survey responses and other feedback during the consultation period. This included an online survey with an interactive comments map, two community drop-in sessions and written submissions.
