Located approximately 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) north of the city centre, it spans from Arndale Shopping Centre, Kilkenny in the west, to Broadview in the east, continuing eastwards as Muller Road, to end at North East Road in Klemzig. Regency Road has major intersections at Torrens Road, South Road, Churchill Road, Prospect Road, Main North Road and Hampstead Road.

Regency Road carries a large amount of freight traffic, being located near Regency Park and the Churchill Road industrial area.

History

Regency Road previously was Islington Road Between Torrens Road and Churchill Road, Irish Harp Road between Churchill and Main North Roads, and Rakes Road from there to Hampstead Road.^[1] Some years after the old Islington Sewage Farm had closed and the land fallen into disuse the new suburb of Regency Park was created on the site, named in honour of Queen Elizabeth II (the regent) on her visit to Adelaide in 1970.^[2] At the same time, Islington Road, which formed the southern boundary of the suburb was regazetted (along with Irish Harp and Rakes Roads) into Regency Road.
