Letter from DPTI – 9th December 2015 – Keith Truck Parking Bay Pedestrian Lighting
DPTI advised that the installation of lighting at this location is considered a low

They also feel that the use of solar lights to provide adequate lighting for pedestrians
crossing the highway is not considered appropriate as it may not meet Australian
Standards.


A suggestion from SAPOL members present that in the “Drive to Arrive” publication, could
we change one of the squares to read: “25km/hr past emergency vehicles”. R Forgan
advised that the proof had been accepted as is, but would note it for next year.
Council

Council approved the speed limit change on Emu Flat Road from 80 km to 60 km. DPTI
have been in contact regarding collection of speed related data. MTS advised that traffic
monitor will collect data and then it will be presented to DPTI who can then process our
application to reduce the speed limit.

Have received complaints regarding speeding from the Carol Murray Kindergarten in
Bordertown and the Kindergarten in Keith. Would like a police presence to make sure
motorists are doing the right thing. The time of surveillance is between 8.15 am and 8.45
a.m.

Speed message trailer is currently located in McLeod Street, as there was a near miss with a
motorist not complying with the speed limit during road works.

Strategic Plan – MTS explained the benefits of the Strategic Plan and how it would work.
This will now become a standard item for discussion/updates on the agenda. R Forgan
suggested that once the draft plan has been adopted that we email it out to other local
Road Safety Groups as it may assist them in their planning process. Any amendments or
suggestions to improve “measures” or Actions should be sent to MTS prior to next meeting.
Police

There was a near miss involving a semi-trailer at the intersection which may have been
travelling too fast. Suggestion to install rumble strips to the intersection of Riddoch Highway
and Dukes Highway. MTS to liaise with DPTI and SAPOL regarding this.

The 60 km zone near the BP at Keith – BP staff and truck drivers are now in favour of the
change. Even those who weren’t in favour previously.
Mick O’Connell - Schools
 School is supplying a bus for schoolies in Victor Harbor. A great initiative as there will be less
students on the road during this time.
