Daws Road is a major double-lane arterial road in the central southern suburbs of Adelaide, running east–west between Goodwood Road in the east and Marion Road in the west.[1] Daws Road crosses South Road and the Tonsley railway line. It passes under one of the two diagonal railway bridges of the Seaford railway line, before ending at Marion Road, Ascot Park. Beyond this point, the road continues under the name Oaklands Road, heading towards Brighton Road in the west.
