Population has outgrown the town, it is chaotic at the best of times.

Yep, even moreso ATM with the bridge work. I live up there and reckon I’ve been lucky enough to only have been down the main st about 3 times in the last 6 months.
Hopefully the bypass will eventually alleviate most of the congestion

The bridge brings out a new breed of idiot too.

What's this bypass you talk of?

The new eastern link road being constructed. Will run from Potts Road ( Where the BP is) and join up with Calton Road with a new bridge over the South Para.

Just checked it out, hard to judge the impact it will have without knowing how many commuters will benefit from it, Gawler just seems too densely populated and that seems to benefit those living up the top of Carlton & Lyndoch roads and then those living in Sandy, Lyndoch and Williamstown.

I would estimate that 70-80% of traffic heading up the main st turn right at the Exchange so it should ease the congestion. Most people I know who live at Willaston or Hewitt take the expressway.
Even a 40% reduction in traffic would be great

Do you have the luxury of frequenting Gawler Green?

Yes, we moved about 3 months ago and now live just across the road from it pretty much. Absolute nightmare at times

As part of the “I’m a fat ****, must loose some weight” New Years resolution I’m riding my treadly to work one or two days a week. We have showers and a change room here, along with lockers etc. All good, except today forgot the jocks.... great, free bagging in the office!

Been quiet all day.

Picks up a lot, which coincides with me having to cover the office and warehouse....and Mary decides to have her break. Whole place smells like vomit (her soup) and toast, while she's chatting to he clingy as f**k 26 year old daughter at a volume much too loud for an office.

She's just decided its probably best to move her phone call into the meeting room after some prompting by yours truly.

Meet you at the Admiral later?
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.
