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 Adelaide-Crafers Hwy.
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
