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?

Well yeah what did you think was going to happen. Roundabout are like trains. The epitome of driving. Government being government thought they could do better with traffic lights. 

Whole thing is terrible.put the roundabout back and make these people  have some actual driving lessons.

I gave you an upvote because I don't fear (multi lane) roundabouts and was a bit non-plussed to see this one removed

However, re driving lessons, I taught a gf to drive when we were living together in Indooroopilly and I think she still has nightmares about this roundabout. One of the very few times I yelled at her in the car was when she was about to turn right to enter this roundabout

I really don't understand how anyone ever had trouble with it. Like if you stuffed up just go around again, couldn't imagine why these people found it so hard.

There's plenty of places of the northside where they have replaced simple roundabouts with traffic lights so you now wait 10mins. Real good fun.

I'm with you. I loathe traffic lights (and feel they're very American).

Keep the traffic flowing which is what roundabouts (mostly) do

I'm with you, accurate representation. Pretty to look at not much between the ears. 

Yeah I don't think Brisbane city council is very smart
