It commences at Park Terrace (R1). Travelling northwest, major roads that intersect Torrens Road include Churchill Road (A22), South Road (A13), and Regency Road. It meets the Outer Harbor railway line in Alberton, and ceases a short distance later, a couple of hundred metres south of Grand Junction Road (A16).

The short section between Park Terrace and Churchill Road at the southeastern end of Torrens Road is designated route A22, which then follows Churchill Road. The level crossing of the Gawler and Port Augusta railways is proposed to be replaced by a bridge. It carries an average of 23,000 vehicles a day, and the level crossing gates can be down for 22% of the time during peak hours.[2]

The former Cheltenham Park Racecourse (now the residential suburb of St Clair) and Armada Arndale Shopping Centre are both located on Torrens Road.

Torrens Road is located in the Cities of Prospect, Charles Sturt and Port Adelaide Enfield.

gollark: You mean 5GHz WiFi or 5G the unneceesary mobile standard?
gollark: RFTools has a builder block thing which can copy areas if you feed in the items, which makes the difficult bit just autoproducing all the items involved, which other mods can do okayishly.
gollark: It would probably be easier to just use CC and OC at least for central coordination and stuff.
gollark: That would be *doable*, if *hard* without CC and OC, probably just by using a bunch of mods allowing for autoconstruction.
gollark: I'm guessing from the other stuff you said that you want Von Neumann machines, i.e. self replicators, ingame.
