* On the West Side of the North Line is an large old industrial estate which in turn is on the East Side of the M2 (South Road).
* There is a "no-truck allowed" sign on Exeter Terrace that was ignored by numerous large semi-trailers.
* Semi-trailers could not turn left into Exeter Tce without crossing over to the other-side of the Exeter Tce roadway.
* Other vehicles on Exeter Tce had to backup so the semi-trailers could get around the corner. (Otherwise the semi-trailer would be left stranded with its trailer across the ARTC track.)
* It is suggested that both Exeter Tce and Pym Street adjacent to the Level Crossing are not wide enough to allow the semi-trailers that are attempting to turn left or right without crossing over to the other side of the roadway. A "log jam" scenario involving vehicles be stuck across the rail lines is a daily potential.
* Re-direction of long vehicles to use the Pym Street - South Road Intersection, which has traffic lights, would help solve this problem at the the rail crossing in their attempt to go about their business.
* The North East corner of the grave yard has been cleared of headstones.
* One partial solution is to block-off Exeter Tce North access to Pym Street. Vehicles on Exeter Tce North and attached side roads can get access to the main roads system via Pedder Cres and the road underpass under Regency Road.
* It appears the ARTC has slowed down their trains as a precautionary measure.
* There are 2x Broad Gauge tracks owned by AdelaideMetro used for Commuter Trains & 1x Standard Gauge owned by ARTC used for 1.5 Km long freight trains and 0.8Km long.
* The video was taken in a 20 minute period on a Thursday morning around 8:00am
