[edit] Naming
Is there a reason it's called a highway, but is in fact a freeway? Or am I confused? Thedangerouskitchen 11:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

- Im with you. that section of road used to be the adelaide-crafers hwy, but is now part of the freeway...AS you enter the road, about 200m from the intersection of glen osmond road, portrush road and cross road, there are all the usual freeway signs. The only difference from the rest of the freeway is the 100km/h...TheJosh 09:26, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- It is not part of the freeway, merely the road flowing onto it; the freeway has always begun at Crafers. The South Eastern Freeway originally connected to Mount Barker Road (the old route to the freeway, which the A-C Hwy travels along for a brief period near the city end—before the Devil's Elbow), was going to connect to the Hills Freeway as part of the MATS plan, and then then connected to the A-C Hwy when it replaced Mount Barker Road. The A-C Hwy is, however, a 'freeway-grade' road (equivalent to one). michael talk 09:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- Devil's Elbow would make for an interesting article. I remember passing at least two horror crashes at that dreadful passing, having to call emergency services for one. --cj | talk 08:11, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
