You would think by the time you've made it to grey nomad status that you have seen it all. But ! Wait there's more, just when you think the world is a safer place Local Government steps upto the plate . The attached illustrates part of the very costly coastal walk program funded jointly by local rate payers and a little federal/ state funding .
When tackled over the obvious hazards associated with terminating the walk way on the road and asked why it wasn't cut back into the hill side the answer is we are going to widen the road around the walk platform . Incidentally the drop off where they intend to widen the road is about 10meters , not a cheap option, but when you put space cadets in charge what else can you expect for LG engineers .
the mount lofty lookout has one very similar to this setup just down the eastern side, we nearly got cleaned up there a few years ago when they had the targa going through there
taxpayers money x brainless beaurocrats = useless things like this

Funny you mention Mt Lofty I believe the engineer responsible for this is from SA
