0: Charlton St, Ascot

Ever since the installation of traffic lights outside the racecourse and the speed bumps introduced in Kitchener Road, the volume of non-local traffic has increased in our quiet residential section of the street, most of the cars travelling well above the speed limit to beat the lights.

It is used as a rat run by motorist trying to get to Kingsford Smith Drive heading inbound and those heading outbound trying to avoid it on the way to the airport.

2: Wellington St, Wooloowin

This small, narrow street is used by speeding cars and motor bikes as a rat run throughout the day. Between 2 - 4am it functions as a speedway for dual racers.


Más sobre Wellington St, Wooloowin

3: Chermside St, Grange

I and other residents in our street have submitted requests to council to put street calming in our street but to no avail. We have traffic dodging the lights at the Raymont Road /Grange Road intersection by coming through our street - Chermside Street to Blandford Street then back on to Grange Road.

5: Howie St, Clayfield

Drivers coming up and down Park Avenue to avoid lights on Junction Road. Not only do they rat run during peak times and scool times, they exceed the speed limit. This is exacerbated by the commuters parking in our street because there is no parking at the train station, which is another concern!!!

The real heavy rat running occurs in the Crowther- Brickfield – Leda Streets connection between Fuller Street and Maygar Street. There is no traffic calming in these streets and the trucks (including city council) all use it. It is only street that has access to Maygar Street/Days Road for both right and left turns and no traffic calming. Brook Street which is a wider street capable of taking heavy traffic has left turns only at the junction to Maygar Street as a result of a fatal accident some years ago.

Felix street gets rat runners as they cut down from lutwyche road into Marita street. In the morning for a couple of hours it is at a peak. Although they have put in speed bumps to slow the traffic i think they need to do more.

17: Marita St, Lutwyche

Marita street is also a very narrow street and the construction workers park on both sides and near the end making it possible for only one car to get down the road at one time. Despite numerous calls to the council this is still happening and is very dangerous.

18: Park Ave, Clayfield

We live in Park Ave Clayfield. It is a 50km/hr street. Drivers come steaming along from Shaw Rd cutting through Henry St and then up Park Ave to miss the traffic lights on junction Rd/Rose St. There have been traffic accidents here as people try to turn at an uncontrollef intersection out the front of bust shops which then block traffic all the way back to Sandgate Rd.

We just want impatient speeding ratrunners off our street and away from kids who play in Kalinga Park and walk to school.

People trying to avoid the toombul road merge onto sandgate road have been rat running up Northgate Road for a long time now, using the back streets to enter sandgate road opposite the virginia school.

25: Jerrang St, Indooroopilly

Jerrang St at Indooroopilly. Since the Legacy Way tunnel and subsequent construction works at Indooroopilly shopping town, the road out the front of my house becomes a car park every working day. It's due to the outer western suburbs people rat running to get off the congested Western freeway and Moggill roads.

The traffic gets so bad that the busses can't even get away on time anymore from our area. Appalling traffic management.

Cuts out 3 sets of lights on Muculluch (one set a pedestrian crossing ) and 2 sets on Mains Road.

Council put speed humps/traffic calming in years ago, reduce speed but traffic numbers still huge.

In the arvo, the number of people who disobey to stop sign at Sunnybrae/Kylie could pay of Qld debt if the police policed.

44: Goldieslie Rd, Indooroopilly

Drivers who use suburban streets instead of main thoroughfares do so because they believe it will get them to where they want to go more quickly. Not surprisingly a large percentage of these drivers travel above the speed limit where they feel they can get away with it. If your suburban street is straight with good visibility and is used by rat runners you will regularly see cars travelling at high speeds. Twice the 50 kph speed limit is not uncommon. Goldieslie Road, Indooroopilly is a good example.

At the moment, we in Stoneleigh St, have had an easing of rat-running because of the roadworks on Truro St for the tunnel works. Soon the roadworks will be finished and traffic will again be looking for available shortcuts. This will carry through to McLennan St. Once it starts again it will be hard to nip in the bud. The optimal time to deter this practise is to place deterrents before the road works signs are

Alderson Street in Newmarket is used as a rat run by motorists cutting across from Newmarket Road to Enoggera Road and vice versa. Instead of driving all the way to the intersection of those roads, drivers cut through Alderson Street.
They speed around a blind corner, often veering across the centre line, and continue to drive dangerously fast past the park and Newmarket Pool. Alderson Street is marked as a cycle path but the rat running cars make it so dangerous. I know of family pets that have been killed by speeding rat runners.

Rat Runners avoiding Beaudesert road traffic lights (outbound) in the Moorooka shopping area, cutting back onto Beaudesert road from Mayfield rd.
In the reverse direction rat runners turn off mayfield road and run through back streets, heading up Vendale Ave and back onto Beaudesert Rd (inbound).

96: Stanley St East, Coorparoo

Traffic pours down this narrow street during peak hour in the morning in westerly direction, and somewhat reversed in the late afternoon/evening. At best of times, traffic ignores the signed 50km speed limit, endangering residents and others. It is not unusual in the mornings mid week to have cars banked up down the entire street. There is a T2 traffic zone in place over a 1 km stretch of main road (shown) that seems to aggravate the rat-running problem - as drivers shortcut through the residential area.

97: Northgate Rd, Northgate

I live on Northgate Road, Northgate, yesterday a pedestrian was knock over by a car travelling at a high speed, travelling through from Sandgate road to Toombul road. Severe head injuries received. The businesses in the area have been partitioning local council to have road speed it reduced to 40klm. As there is a childcare centre on the road, Channel 7 was out there last week discussing the request by businesses. Now some one has been hurt, the council should act!!!!! Not holding our breath, maybe someone has to die first.

98: Morris Rd, Rothwell

people turn off Deception Bay Rd into Morris rd to avoid Anzac Ave. There is school on this Rd, so the trafic is bumper to bumper with parents dropping off kids, school buses and then you have the rat runners and if there is a accident on Anzac Ave, it turns into a parking lot.......

99: Gilbert Rd, Gordon Park

The worst in Gordon park is Gilbert road which is a one-way give-way that hourly sees road rage and speeding where motorists mount the traffic calming. It feeds from montrose st and is ridiculously busy. Something needs to be done as it is dangerous too.

100: Ada St, Taringa

A narrow two-way street frequented by speeding homicidal drivers intent on playing chicken with residents trying to get out of driveways or travelling in the opposite direction. Should be made one way.

101: Fosbery St, Windsor

With the construction of the airport link road, the access to Lutwyche Road has changed. Drivers are avoiding this by driving through the “local only” Truro Street and then turning left into Fosbery Street. There is a fire station on the corner – it is only a matter of time before someone comes screaming around the corner and collects the fire truck or ends up in our garden!

102: Henry St, Wooloowin

Henry St Kalinga is used to turn left off Shaw Rd, coming from the northern dormitory suburbs. Along Henry, past the useless traffic calming islands which do not even require a deviation, let alone reduction in speed, then right up Park Ave to miss two sets of lights. Busy in peak hour, especially early morning, but dangerous all hours. Solution is to impose a no left turn from Shaw Rd,::text like many other areas such as near the Lloyd St entrance to Enoggera Barracks, St Lucia around the Uni, and the various streets in Grange and Wilston either side of Kedron Brook.

103: Bott St, Ashgrove

Very popular with motorists cutting from Waterworks rod to Ashgrove Ave. No right turn signs out of Bott Street in the morning and no right turns into Bott Street has done nothing to stop the rat runners. It’s not so much the number of cars, but the speed at which they travel – 40 kph? Yeah right!

104: Waroon St, Stafford

A great example of rat running is when drivers are driving south along Webster Rd, Stafford (morning only) and they see the queue of traffic at the intersection of Webster Rd and Stafford Rd and realise they will have to wait for a minimum 4-5 changes of lights (more than 10 minutes) so they turn left into Waroon St or sometimes Leiper St so as to avoid waiting for so long at the intersection. Can't blame them really.

It is also annoying having cars queued at the exit to your street well before 7.00am. It is also quite dangerous to turn left into Leiper St from Webster Rd because of a limited view there as well as the entrance to the street being so narrow. It is common to see cars come around that corner and be on the wrong side of the road.

Unfortunately resolving the massive problem at the intersection of Webster Rd and Stafford Rd will only involve pushing the problem to a different place such as the intersection of Days Rd and Grange Rd.

105: Byth St, Stafford

They use these combinations of streets to bypass the lights at the intersection of Stafford Rd/Appleby Rd. It occurs both in the morning and afternoon.



The major safety concern is that there is a Day Care Centre on Macnaughton St and a park adjacent to Byth St and Brennan St.



The rat runners travel through these urban streets at high speed and I have witnessed numerous close calls with cars and people (both adults and children) leaving and entering the Day Care Centre.
