當地交通

By car Many secondary and minor roads on the peninsula are un-surfaced graded dirt roads. Some of these roads may run for extended distances and care should be used to avoid accident due to the sometimes slippery conditions. Windscreen breakage is also possible from stones being thrown up by the wheels of passing vehicles. Always moderate your speed and take care not to cause either yourself or other road users any damage by not fully understanding the prevailing local conditions. These unsealed roads are frequently surfaced by grading machines and care should be used when driving near any roadworks that are in progress. Speed limits on Yorke Peninsula are 50 km/h zones within towns, and on open roads are often 100 or 110 km/h – 110 km/h zones, however, are more often than not found in the Clare Valley while the 100 km/h zones are on the Yorke Peninsula.
