B34 is a cross-regional route between the Barossa Valley and the Fleurieu Peninsula via the Adelaide Hills. It is fairly well signed north of the Princes Highway however, as of 2005, route marker signage is almost non-existant south of Hahndorf. Before 1998 the route was previously unnumbered except for a small section whcih was a poorly-signed tourist drive.

Nice old black ID sign at the junction of Torrens Valley Road (B10/B34) & Onkaparinga Valley Road (B34), Birdwood. Note the dodgy addition of the B34 route marker on the sign - definitely better than no route marker! Source: Peter Renshaw, February 2011. |

AD sign northbound on Mount Barker Road approaching the junction with Onkaparinga Valley Road (B34) at Verdun. Note the tourist route name 'Onkaparinga Scenic Drive'. I'm not sure if these routes are still actively signposted. Photo taken: January 2005. |

AD sign southbound on Mount Barker Road (B34) approaching the junction with South Eastern Freeway (NHRM1) at Verdun. Note the brighter shade of yellow for the B34 route marker to ensure it stands out. Also note how the signs refer to Princes Highway, rather than South Eastern Freeway, which is the official road name. Photo taken: January 2005. |

Eastbound signage on South Eastern Freeway (NHRM1) approaching the Verdun interchange. Note how only one sign actually shows the B34 route marker. Photos taken: January 2005. |

Old black RD sign on Mount Barker Road (B34), heading east from the junction with South Eastern Freeway at Verdun. This sign needs to be updated with one that includes the B34 route marker and some additional focal points (i.e. Echunga and Murray Bridge). Source: Peter Renshaw, February 2011. |
