Panalatinga Road is a north-south minor arterial road in the southern suburbs of Adelaide. It runs from the junction of Main South Road and the Southern Expressway in Reynella, and heads south past Wheatsheaf Road where it terminates soon after, continuing uphill as Coxs Hill Road into the Onkaparinga Hills. The original road reserve for the extension of Panalatinga Road carries on southwards as a “No Through Road” named St Vincent’s View terminating at several private gateways to adjacent acreage properties. The road reserve then continues across a creek gully to emerge on the other side of the gully as Kimbley Road at the junction of Spriggs Road. At least until the early 1960s it was possible to traverse this road reserve and cross the creek - by foot or by horseback but not by a vehicle - thus allowing travel along the full length of Panalatinga Road including its southern road reserve extension from Reynella in the north to Upper Penney’s Hill Road in the south at Hackam. The route was enhanced by partial clearing when a rough service vehicle track was created in the mid-1950s to assist with the laying out of high voltage power poles and lines, which now follow this road reserve for its full length. The current Panalatinga Road is a four lane dual carriageway for the 4.6 km length north of Wheatsheaf Road, and a two lane single carriageway for the 1 km to the south. The entire road has a speed limit of 80 km/h, and is used as an alternative to South Road and local road States Road. The majority of southbound traffic exits at Wheatsheaf Road, where the road reduces to a single lane, and the right southbound and left northbound lane are made for access to/from Wheatsheaf Road. The Panalatinga Creek runs under the road in the northern section, which gives this road its name. It is derived from the Kaurna name Pandlotinga, with the 'inga' suffix meaning 'path of water' which is often mispronounced as Panatalinga.
