[edit]Whoever said there are no speed limits outside the built up areas might be interested to see the speeding ticket (and A$280 fine) I recieved approximately 30 mins north of Port Augusta in November 2006. The ticket cited exceedance of a definite 110km/h limit.

- Always obey the posted speed limit in preference to believing what you read in Wikipedia
- The "no speed limit" only ever applied to that part of the highway north of the NT border
- The article is now out of date - a 130 km/h limit came into force on January 1 2007 for those parts previously without a limit.
- Sorry to hear you got caught. I hope it didn't completely destroy your holiday. --Scott Davis Talk 12:23, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
There needs to be a disambiguation page for 'Stuart Highway' - there is Stuart Highway the road, and Stuart Highway the political activist, frequently referred to in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Against_Prohibition. A photo of him is on http://www.napnt.org/pages/freestuarthighway.html (Dscc (talk) 08:01, 19 March 2008 (UTC))
Not Stuart's Route
[edit]Was just listening to a ABC Radio National podcast on the Stuart Highway. It claims that the Highway, though named in Stuart's honor, mostly does not follow his route.

(Why does somebody on the other side of the planet listen to ABC Radio National? Because they do good stuff, and because they're not afraid to make their best content available in MP3. NPR could learn a thing or two from them.)

Opened in 1860
[edit]How could the highway be opened before Stuart even found the route? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.142.12.63 (talk) 19:59, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- No evidence was presented for that date. I have removed it. HiLo48 (talk) 04:29, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
