Adelaide Avenue

Adelaide Avenue is a limited-access road in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory.

The road connects Yarralumla with the Parliament House area. Adelaide Avenue is a popular tourist route, since Parliament house, the residence of the Australian Prime Minister, and the Royal Australian Mint, can be seen from it.[citation needed]

The far right lane was used as a bus lane until December 2006, but due to the Gungahlin Drive Extension it was changed to a T2 transit lane.[1] The T2 lane was reverted back to a bus lane on 14 November 2011 after the completion of the Gungahlin Drive Extension.[2] However a week after the lane was turned back to a bus lane the ACT Liberals and the ACT Greens overturned the decision, resulting the lane to change to a T2 lane despite the wishes of the Labor party and the Transport Workers Union.[3]
