Comment: Fails WP:GNG, requires significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources. Openstreetmap is not an acceptable source (for establishing a road's notability), and Weekend Notes is not a reliable source. The Monarto Safari Park is trivia not a noteworthy fact.

The Old Princes Highway is a former stretch of Highway 1, starting at Eagle On The Hill, where it is referred to as Mount Barker Road, and terminating at Long Flat, near Murray Bridge.[1]
The initial highway section is not contiguous with the rest of the highway by car, as an old offramp between Eagle On The Hill and Crafers was converted into a segment of a dedicated bicycle path known as the Crafers Bikeway some time around May 2000[2].

In the 1960s, the South Eastern Freeway was constructed, significantly reducing traffic on the highway.
