With more than 120 ANZAC Day services and ceremonies scheduled to take place across South Australia tomorrow, police are reminding the community to pay attention to local road closures and pedestrian movements, according to SA Police.
Police planning for these services and events, in conjunction with organisers, has been ongoing for some time, with the safety and security of the general public a priority.
Across the day police will also have a focus on detecting drivers under the influence of drink or drugs, with nine motorists testing positive for alcohol last ANZAC Day and 16 testing positive for illicit drugs.
In Adelaide, the community are asked to be mindful of road closures which will be in place in conjunction with the Dawn Service, ANZAC Day March and Cross of Sacrifice Remembrance Service.
