Cars & Transportation Worst Intersections.

[RedmanWasHere]

Been thinking of creating this for a while and finally got around to doing it.

In your journeys, what are the worst intersections you've had to drive or walk through?
Nothing for me has topped Canterbury Rd and Dorset Rd.

Never felt comfortable crossing the road.

There's a round about in Moe, that has to be seen to be believed.

The calder turn-off to Mildura before Bendigo, on the return way, is a death-trap.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

There's one near the Harp of Erin that is so confusing I ended up on the wrong side of the road

Maroondah Hwy/Dorset Rd/Exeter Rd is pretty damn awful.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Maroondah Hwy/Dorset Rd/Exeter Rd is pretty fan awful.

Good nomination.

What's also annoying about it is that the light changes colour, 3-4 cars go through and it changes back again.

The Moe roundabout is not as bad as it initially looks.

 

[St 07]

Hoddle st / Johnston st, coming from Johnston. Have had many a horrible experience there. I don't mind the dorset/canterbury tbh but I never get caught in peak hour there. It's just hard getting to KFC from Canterbury road!

Depends from which street you're approaching it. And if you have to come to a stop, in a truck, on the uphill slope, with what?....1 and a half seconds notice from the blind corner....Best of luck.

Springvale Rd/Dandenong Rd/Centre Rd. Horrendous, I think they're looking at fixing it up majorly.

Turning right out of George St is worse than being in the roundabout lol

Left from Narracan drive onto that roundabout, is no picnic either....Whoever the fukc designed that thing, should be barred from urban planning forever.

Thought of it straight away. If you're not local it's a nightmare.

My old local.

Gotta love Five Ways.

 

[Van_Dyke]

I like the big roundabout in Bunbury, where they implemented traffic lights.

 

[akkaps]

Buckley St / Essendon Train Station

Turning right onto Holmes Rd from Margaret St, at the train crossing.

Anywhere where the there are only two traffic lights, instead pf the usual red, amber, and green.

And, amber lights, because I'm colour light, the red and amber can look like the same colour. It's a nightmare driving at night because I can't easily count the position the light is in.

thanks t o the OP for the thread. also been thinking about this for some time without the guts to start a thread on it.

i had a few in mind but forgot majority of them

perhaps st kilda rd and any adjacents. why? because if u dont know when to get into the slip lane to get to your destination its a nervous ride

 

[peternorth]

similarly springy/dandenong rd/centre

and 5 ways.

 

[Catfish Alley]

This stupid one for me. At peak hour it backs up forever.

Good to see a few familiar with my home town. Always love being a passenger in a car with a driver who doesn't go through this often and watching them freak out.

 

[Catfish Alley]

I never found that one too difficult. Probably just got used to it though because I was local.

How long did you live in Mooroolbark for and when?

 

[BotsMaster]

Buckley St / Essendon Train Station

That one plus the Mt Alexander Rd/Keilor Rd roundabout are retarted.

In terms of traffic flow:
Kings Rd/Taylors Rd is horrific and was rated the worst intersection by RACV a couple of years ago.
Eastlink exit off Bulleen Rd.
Sunshine Ave/Old Calder Hwy + Sunshine Ave/Melton Hwy

 

[akkaps]

That one plus the Mt Alexander Rd/Keilor Rd roundabout are retarted.

That intersection is fine, the Essendon Junction intersection is worse, especially travelling south.

Sunshine Ave/Old Calder Hwy + Sunshine Ave/Melton Hwy

I've been caught in the wrong lane a few times and gone off in the wrong direction.

How long did you live in Mooroolbark for and when?

1980 to 1983, 1999 to 2001 and 2003 to 2010.
