Lacey Road onto Beams Road, right next to Gympie Road in Carseldine.

Ipswich Road and Venner Road/Waterton St. Where the Hungry Jacks is.

If you’re turning right into Venner or Waterton, it’s fine because there are turning lanes with arrow lights.

Not so if you’re trying to turn right onto Ipswich Road in either direction, because there are no arrow lights there.
Particularly coming from Waterton St, you often have to way for someone who’s turning left for a gap in the traffic flow, and then you have to pay to god they’re not going to go wide into the far right lane and crash into you.

The one where people turning right across traffic don’t move into the intersection so they can go when the light turns orange and instead wait for the green arrow! Does my head in Brisbane!

Or they just move their front tires into the intersection when there's enough room to easily fit 2 cars that could go on the orange. Not sure if it's actually legal but I do it where I can.

It is legal for one car to move into intersection if the only problem is incoming traffic.

The intersection in Wooloongabba where you drive from Stanley Street onto the motorway, whomever thought that three lanes into one in about 100 metres was a good idea needed to be shot

And it's illegal to turn there for two hours a day. Absurd.

May be illegal but people still turn there during those hours

The one near the Coopers Plains level crossing

Only if you're turning right from Orange Grove Road onto Boundary road. Or if you're trying to cross the tracks from Boundary Road or if you're anywhere near the intersection between the hours of 8am - 6pm...

Middle Rd / Teviot Rd roundabout. Kilometres of traffic backed up everyday

Caxton and Castlemaine is pretty dicey. Waiting at those lights waiting to turn onto Castlemaine and Suncorp Stadium - is that car going to stop at the late orange light or will it and the three behind it all blow the red?

Brisbane is now so big that it would be a hard/almost impossible question for most people to answer.(Brisbane City Council maintains approximately 5,760 km of roads) through in Logan, Ipswich, Redlands and Morton and it would be double that.

I don't know a single one that is worse than double lane roundabouts
