Brisbane City Council makes plans for traffic lights to fix dangerous intersection at Archerfield Road in Inala
This suburban intersection is one of the most dangerous in Brisbane, and drivers must rely on their knowledge of road rules to figure out who should give way via two Stop signs and white painted lines.
The width of the road also means waiting drivers tend to squeeze their cars next to other vehicles, adding to confusion.
Brisbane City Council has released plans for an update that includes four sets of traffic lights, separate turning lanes and pedestrian crossings.

The intersection of Archerfield Road, Azalea Street and Pine Road carries approximately 22,000 vehicles per day and connects people traveling through Inala and Richlands.
There were seven serious crashes at Inala landpoint from 2021 to 2023, making it Brisbane’s third most dangerous intersection.
There were also eight serious casualties.

About 16,000 vehicles use Montague Road in the urban West End on weekdays, compared to the suburban interchange at Inala.
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner promised to fund the junction upgrade during last year’s election campaign.
