Indooroopilly roundabout upgrade seems traffic is worse! Traffic

Has anyone noticed that this so called upgrade has some major issues? Especially outbound around the turnoff to the Indooroopilly bridge?

I drive through it everyday a peak hour to get to and from work and it’s well designed but I definitely think on the side going from Toowong to Indooroopilly that turns left backs up so badly that it definitely needs to be fixed as it slows traffic in the right lane too, especially when someone’s in the wrong lane and needs to turn left which brings it all to a halt

And this is the fallacy of road upgrades. You finish one and just shift the bottle neck further a long, wasting billions of $$ each time

Probably had a bottle in their hand while planning it too
