The Northern Territory Government acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Northern Territory and recognises their continuing cultural and spiritual connections to the lands, waters and communities. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their cultures, their Elders past and present, and to future generations.

The government will cover the cost of relocating or upgrading grids on NT Government roads if it is part of a government road project. The construction of the grid will form part of the road works contract.

late 14c., "to join or unite (something to something else)," from Latin addere "add to, join, attach, place upon," literal and figurative, from ad "to" (see ad-) + -dere, combining form meaning "to put, place," from dare "to give" (from PIE root *do- "to give").

You must apply to be able to install a new grid – the NT Government won't accept applications for grids that have already been installed.

Grid roadmeaning

As a landholder or lessee, you can apply to put in a new grid only on rural arterial roads in exceptional circumstances where fencing is not an option.

Generally all grids should be built with approach slabs. Only in exceptional circumstances can you build a grid without an approach slab.

It is the Northern Territory (NT) Government's long term aim that grids be eliminated from public roads and that the road is instead fenced where practical.

The intransitive meaning "to do sums, do addition" also is from late 14c. Related: Added; adding. To add up is from 1754; in the figurative meaning "make sense," by 1942. Adding machine "machine to cast up large sums" is from 1822.
