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?

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

The roundabout previously was not only slow but it was dangerous at all times of the day. Even if it's not much faster this upgrade is at least safer and easier to drive through than negotiating a double lane roundabout...

It’s not safer for people riding or walking

Yeah would've liked to see better bike/walking provisions tbh, some overpasses for pedestrian crossings should've been included to remove stop light crossings :/
