I Heard podcasts here more mix one or two point

If you've woken up this morning and you're feeling good
about things, it's not too far off the weekend. You've
got to had a great week at work. You know
what the Adeltte City Council wants to ruin your week. Yeah,
they want to ruin your week because they want to
reduce speed limits on ten major roads around the city.
(00:33):
And that has led us to get our audio guy
to get really angry on our behalf for this.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I'll hit the break's hard.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
It's little cause Edith made keeps going this way this night,
and you've got the bloody place tonight. Whoa, whoa, that's
funny good, it's so good.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
We are raging in the studio this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
There have been the major roads around the CBD, so
Sir Donald Bradman drives blabb Bah Avenue, Goodwood Road, Botannic
len Osben Wakefield bar tells all these roads that are
very close to the sea, close to the Parklands. Adelaide
City Council has put forward a proposal saying we need
to reduce the speed limit sixty's too fast. It's too
fast as too many people that play in the parklands.
We need to bring it down to fifty, perhaps even
(01:19):
lower would be nice.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
No, fifty is so slow.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I get if you're near a school zone, go slow
there's kids around, But why, like, how is that going
to help anything?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
These roads are main roads. It's not main roads that
they're not little roads. No, and people aren't as much
as the Parklands Committee want you to believe it. There's
not fifteen million people frolicking in the parklands every Saturday,
crossing between their house just on the other side of
Jeffcott Street and getting back into the park.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Are we trying to protect the people that are walking
or we're protecting the cars like having little bumps?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
What are we trying to do because I don't think.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
There's many people walking across Glen Osmond Road.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Here is what they have cited as why they have
done it. They did a review. There were twenty four
hundred crashes.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
In the five years up until like the start of
twenty twenty four, and a person hit by a car
at fifty kilometers an hour rather than thirty kilometers an
hour is nine times more likely to be killed No dark,
of course they are. Yes.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Do you get that I get the backstreets, backstreets, yes,
because there's kids riding their bikes, there's schools, there's families,
there's all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
That's fair enough that we're slower in the backstreets. But
on the main roads, here's my kid's on the main roads.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
My question for you, Hayley Pearson and for the other
lad City Council where where do you draw a line
on safety? Do you need it to be sixty? Do
you need to be fifty? Do you need to be
twenty five? Do you need to get rid of cars?
Do you need to make us walk? But then when
we walk, we'll be in the sun more often, so
we'll get skin cancer.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
But then we'll just pidle dome over radlet.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
But then we'll get vitamin D deficiency because we won't
be in the sun at all. Where do you draw
the line and at what point do you go? Hey,
you know what, we actually have to put a little
bit of this safety on the population instead of in
our hands. You have to put it in the population's
hands to go. You know what, don't drive like an idiot,
just follow the road rules.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I thought I was angry. You have full rage in
your eyes right now.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Don't Constant risk management from councils and governments is a
blight on society. At some point society has to go
a little bit of that is on us. So I'm
not going to drive eighty down there, and I am
gonna watch for pedestrians.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
It also means we're going to be late for work
because Glen Osmond Road. When I drive down there in
the morning, there's not one car on Glen O'sman Road.
When I'm driving to work and I have to go fifty,
I could go one hundred and I wouldn't see anywhere.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
She doesn't do that if you listen to that, But
I could I if I wanted to, but I won't.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
We're angry, we're mad, and we don't think that it
should be reduced for these main.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Roads so dumb it's too slow.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
We're fully mad because the Adelaide City Council wants to
reduce some speed limits on ten major roads that go
around the city.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
They all seem to pretty much border the parkland.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
So, like said Donald Bradman, drive Maine, North Bartel's, Wakefield,
Glen Osman Botanic, all these types of roads.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Good would they want to bring the speed down even slower?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
They were talking about doing it at thirty.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, thirty they came. That was their thing. They said,
let's make it all thirty k's at hour. Let's just
walk to work instead. Ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Glenny Woodville has called us on Thurdy one oh two three.
Glen is a trucky, so I imagine he's probably well
qualified to talk about this.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Glenn, your thoughts. It's really simple.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
The lit slower you make the road, the longer it
takes the truck to get to its destination, which means
higher transport costs.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Higher transport costs mean you pay more for everything you buy.
Glenn's raging. I love this. It's so true, Glenn. What
did you think they fix the problem with the road.
It's not the speed, it's the more runs behind the wheel. Yes,
Glenn's drive a trainee full stop in the story, let
no idea what I see every day? What do you see? Glenn?
(04:59):
Let it out, Glen. We want it. We want to
be your support.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
We have come so close to killing people with my
truck accident.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I have to adjust the way I drive to let
them be more on.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, absolutely. People just lose it. They have no idea
what they're doing out there. Who's given out these yesterday?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Make three corners, change lanes twice, did not indicate one. Okay, Glenn,
what I want you to do while you're driving this truck.
I want you to breathe in, big, big breath, in
through the nose and out through the mouth.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Glen, you're doing it. You have no idea how when
I do that today
