A new 40km/h time-based speed limit has been introduced near schools on SA roads that have speed limits of 50km/h or higher. This will improve children’s safety and help them when they travel to and from school. As a result of the program, timed reduced speed limits will apply on Marion Road near Hamilton Secondary School upon completion of the works.

When?
Intermittently from Sunday 1 November 2026 through early 2027, weather permitting

Hours of work?
Nightworks, 7.30pm-6am, Sunday to Friday
Some intermittent day works may also be required

Where?
Marion Road between Thirza Avenue and Waterman Terrace

What’s happening?
Works will take place on Marion Road between Thirza Avenue and Waterman Terrace to install new electronic and static signage as part of the 40 km/h school speed limits rollout. The project will be completed in stages.

How this affects you
Speed restrictions and lane closures will be in place during working hours. There may be some temporary impacts to street parking around the work zone, as required. Pedestrians and cyclists should take care when travelling throughout the area.

Adelaide Metro bus services and bus stops in the area may be affected. Please check signage at the bus stops and the latest updates at adelaidemetro.com.au.
