Pfft, are we there yet, are we there yet? :(

I've only just managed to get my first quote on the fencing - and now I have to wait for the fricken strata nongs next door - and let me assure you they'll take their full 30 days :? that fence can wait though I guess, the others cant.

The roadworks closing Grote Street/Wakefield Street at Victoria Square.
Travelling from West Beach to Athelstone each day, they are a real pain.
Turn left into King Wiliam Street and you cannot turn right until past the Parade Grounds!!

Cheers

Adds 5kms, but I would go Marion Rod, Richmond/Greenhill/Hallett/Penfield
I hate knowing there will be roadworks.

This is the way I go home more or less. far less traffic too, because you're going the other way. During peak hour, it takes me about 35 mins to get from Richmond Road to Holden HIll police station, so in the morning you'll only have to deal with Richmond Road traffic (which is crap) but other than that it'll be a cruisy drive.

Taxi drivers and limo drivers who sit in the right hand lane under the speed limit and then speed up when they see you trying to .....well undertake them

Another option may be to turn south on West Terrace (if it is possible) or at Morphett St, and go across the CBD on one of the routes south of Victoria Square.

I went to the North Terrace ServiceSA last Friday to pay my car transfer / stamp duty. It was the last day I had to do it.

The queue was massive, and would've been a huge wait so I went back to the guy who was greeting/helping people and explained I had to head back to work. He stamped my form and wrote a five day extension message for me. Told me I could pay by today..

So today is the last day and my girlfriend took the papers in to the ServiceSA at Elizabeth for me. She gets told that I have to pay a $77 late fee as the Elizabeth branch won't honour the city branch's extension.

I guess ServiceSA isn't "one" when it comes to branches.

That is infuriating! Governments should be there to make our lives easier not trap us into paying stupid fees/fines

We aren't the city of churches anymore

We are the city of roadworks, speed restrictions and lane closures

At least if you're in need of some cash, you can scope out some wealthy looking dude, and wont need to do much research on if he has any kids you could take as a potential hostage for ransom......not that I've been planning that for the last 3 months... :yawinkle: :yawinkle:

The only one that really works is the Franklin/Flinders Street run as it just skirts the square and doesn't get caught up with the BUS LANES. :twisted:
