Cross Road is a major arterial road that travels east-west through the inner southern suburbs of the Australian city of Adelaide[1]. Its western terminus is at Anzac Highway, travelling east and ending at Glen Osmond and the Adelaide Hills, joining the junction of Glen Osmond Road, Portrush Road and Mount Barker Road.
There are two railway level crossings along Cross Road, one at Unley Park and another larger one at Emerson Crossing. This is also where South Road crosses over a large overpass built between 1982 and 1984, to reduce the traffic congestion which builds up during peak hour times.
There are a number of suburbs which Cross Road passes through and borders. These are:
- Black Forest
- Clarence Gardens
- Clarence Park
- Edwardstown
- Glandore
- Glen Osmond
- Hawthorn
- Highgate
- Kings Park
- Kingswood
- Malvern
- Mrytle Bank
