A new zebra crossing is being installed on Thornton Street, near the intersection with Regent Street, to improve safety and accessibility for all road users.
The crossing is located close to:
- Thornton Street Reserve
- McKellar Stewart Kindergarten
- The Kensington Hotel
- Walking connections to Marryatville Primary School.
About the zebra crossing
A zebra crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing marked with white stripes on the road. It gives priority to pedestrians and cyclists entering or using the crossing. Drivers must give way to anyone on or approaching the crossing.
To maintain clear sight lines between pedestrians and drivers, six on-street car parks will be removed.
Example of a Zebra Crossing: Gilbert Street, Adelaide
What else is changing
- A new pedestrian-priority zebra crossing will be installed on Thornton Street
- Localised road narrowing will be introduced at the Thornton Street and Regent Street intersection to slow vehicle speeds
- Street lighting will be upgraded to improve visibility of the crossing
- The 10-minute parking zone next to McKellar Stewart Kindergarten will be extended by one car space
- Parking controls will be adjusted to support clear sight lines and pedestrian safety.
