Moggill Road congestion worsening
Monday, 08 March 2010 13:00
Any local resident who, like myself, uses Moggill Road daily is only too well aware that congestion particularly entering Kenmore and through the Chapel Hill area has deteriorated.
I have requested yet another face to face meeting with the Main Roads Minister to urge them to take some action on this problem.
To date the Government has not given their response to the study group’s preferred option for the Kenmore Bypass.
Moggill//Witton Road our most dangerous intersection
Monday, 15 February 2010 13:01
One of the more ridiculous configurations on Moggill Road at its busiest point at Chapel Hill is the absence of a right hand turn lane into Witton Road.
There have been 4 Police reported (serious) accidents just since September last year.
It is estimated by witnesses that there have around 30 accidents in recent years. I have been urging the Government to rectify this situation for years. They have informed me that a request for $935,000 to build a right hand turn lane was made to the Safer Roads Sooner Program in September 2009.
I don’t believe this is enough. It needs to be funded now. It is clearly identified as a dangerous intersection. The Government should just commit to fixing it.
In the meantime I have asked that the kerbside lane outbound be made a left hand turn only lane. To read my letter to the Minister click here.Read more: Moggill//Witton Road our most dangerous intersection
No action on dangerous Moggill Road turn

Despite promises some years ago the Main Roads Department has taken no action to address the unsafe right turn from Moggill Road into Witton Road at Chapel Hill.
This is a commonly used right hand turn for traffic heading in the direction of Indooroopilly but despite some 44,000 cars a day using this stretch of Moggill Road there is no right hand turn lane.

Moggill road bus stop “temporary”
Tuesday, 22 September 2009 10:07
Local residents have expressed concern that the left hand turn lane from Moggill Road into Kilkivan Avenue at Kenmore was being used as a bus stop.
This was producing problems for traffic that was seeking to turn left out of Moggill Road at the same time as buses (which have right of way when pulling out) were leaving the bus stop.More Articles...
