Ring of Death – Giant roundabout which joins Elizabeth St, Royal Parade, Peel St, Felmington Road, and Pelham St!
that big bloody roundabout at the end of Royal Parade and Elizabeth St.
Just look at this Google Map: http://tinyurl.com/yzca277
LOOK AT THAT! Barely a day goes by where I don’t see a car narrowly miss a tram going through the middle, or a pedestrian stare into the eyes of death trying to walk across the middle
Worst intersection…
High street, Reservoir.
It instersects High Street, Spring Street, Epping train line and Broadway.
Unfortunately, there’s no simple solution to fix it.
What Shippi above said.
They may as well take away the traffic lights from the intersection of Kings Way and Sturt Street because many drivers happily run red lights at every hour of the day and night.
The intersection of High Street, Churst Street, Studley Park Road, Princess Street and Denmark Street isn’t much better.
Intersection Swansea and Birmingham Roads, Mt Evelyn – is a horror – I have had near misses several times – heading north into Lilydale – the right hand lane heads up as well as turns quite sharply on itself you end up into the turning lane traffic if not careful particularly if the lanes are full as they all too often are. Too many accidents happen at this place.
fixin it will require re-structuring the road not to turn – road works needed urgently
it has changed! has lights and is completely different, go look. it wasnt too bad before….. but some people are idiots and dont know meaning of “right” or ” giveway” …..
Death Intersection aka Springvale Road/Princes Hwy junction.
The roundabout at Bulla, Keilor, Lincoln and Mt Alexander Rds.
Round about O’Death – my wife calls it.
Bottom of High st, Berwick where it meets princes hwy.if you aren’t a local.avoid this place as u won’t get out.only place on the planet where the red light means go..
i can only say for me beach street Frankston
only cuz i got side swiped there
I agree. Springvale Road and Princes Highway.
definitely along sydney rd towards parkville, especially for cyclists. The bikelanes are overlayed with parking lots, which is very dangerous. segregated bike lanes are desperately needed.
I reckon the SE freeway heading towards town about a kilometre or so out from Punt Road heading towards the tunnel. This stretch of road is constantly jammed with semi-trailers in ALL lanes, swerving at 120km/h. If you can survive that, you can survive anything. And by the way, didn’t trucks used to have limiters installed on them?
These days you might still see the limiter sign on the back as he runs you off the road and you burst into flames.
Toorak too many half wits driving Mercedes thinking they own the roads.
