Melbourne road named Australia's most dangerous

Australia's worst crash hotspots have been revealed, with a Melbourne road taking the title of the country's most dangerous for the sixth consecutive year.

Plenty Road at Bundoora in Melbourne's northeast was named Australia's worst crash hotspot on Thursday as part of insurer AAMI's 2023 crash index.


Congratulations Dhead Dan!

Victorians must be absolute morons for voting this idiot back in (and as such Victorians deserve his disrespect and disregard of them).

I’ve no sympathy for idiots ... or morons for that matter.

Out of codeine most likely.

Not at all. I’m actually very pissed off with Dhead Dan. Did you miss that particular bit of my post?

Not to worry .... read the REASON behind my anger again. 👇

Yes sorry, missed that bit. I was too focussed on the $120million he spent on criminal barrister Nicola Gobbo the informant to Vic Police against her own clients. No-one is charged with any offence.

Anyone bother to find out why it's such a dangerous road before blaming Dan?

Or have we simply launched into full blown hysterics via association?

There is suburban growth at Mernda. 'The road continues as a 6 lane divided road (as of the 2019 upgrade) with a speed limit of 80 km/h until just before Mernda, where the road reduces to 4 lanes. North of the Bridge Inn Road intersection in Mernda, the road again reduces to a 2 lane single carriageway with a speed limit of 100 km/h'.

So speed rises by 25% but lanes reduce by 60%.
crash!

There are a few roads like that here in SA. They taper off as the traffic does. And as the road becomes more rural, the speed increases.

It's not people cramming into each other that causes the road accidents by your account. It's speed. Most likely speeding.

On the 100Kmh road connecting my village to the wider world I drive at 99kph.

Sometimes I get overtaken by someone who soon dwindles into the distance—crazy speed on an ordinary, much patched road that, while not busy there are always cars on it. Then there are caravans, caravans and utes that dawdle yet NEVER pull over to let others pass—build up of impatience and recklessness.

Do the speed of the road, no more no less!

Just looked up the deadliest roads in SA ... you will find this interesting, Monk:

Road Name      Fatalities
Augusta Hwy      44
Sturt Hwy      36
Princes Hwy      22
Dukes Hwy      19
Stuart Hwy      18
Riddoch Hwy      17
Main North Rd      17
Port Wakefield Hwy      16
Eyre Hwy      16
Victor Harbor Rd      13

Data source: SA Police

Knowing those roads, some of which span from many lanes to 2, would all be about either driver fatigue or excess speed.

Can anyone tell me, aside from giant foam bumpers along roadsides, governments are supposed to do about that?

Ohhh YES! Thank you for the reminder! There’s that unbelievable corrupt fiasco which ALSO occurred under Dhead Dan’s watch. VicPol and the entire Vic Judicial “system” is a revolting sick joke. The disrespect and disregard for the separation of powers in that cringeworthy saga ... should have been enough to kick that prick out of office given HE bears ultimate responsibility.

Now back to THIS neglect ....

WHY (after not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5 but SIX CONSECUTIVE YEARS where that particular Victorian road was identified as being the most dangerous road in Australia) has Dhead Dan not been able to DO something to change that?

Anyone from Victoria know? 👇

Whilst you Victorians are at it ....please have a read of this other Dhead Dan driven abomination because I also wouldn’t mind hearing from you lot as to WHY Dhead Dan is ignoring the unbelievable and unacceptable situation affecting Victoria’s state health system. ESP during these precarious times where Covid19 remains unresolved.

Traffic into Mernda is not 'tapering off'. It's all the suburb's traffic on 3 lanes at 80kmh cramming onto 2.

Look...I’m not really abusing the POS. I’m merely holding Dhead Dan’s very own workmanship up for all to see. The fact that his record is vile, corrupt and recklessly negligent is something he needs to take responsibility for.

(To be honest ... I would love nothing more than 15 minutes with that prick. I would be the only speaker throughout that 15 minutes too...machine gunning bullet point after bullet point salvos detailing his exemplary career in Machiavellian politics. ☹️😫😖

It has run out of codeine  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Why does one suburb need more than two lanes?

Left wing, right wing and moderates. Some cars lack steering wheels.  High immigration numbers. Women drivers. There's no high speed rail. Police crackdown on bullet trains.

I was thinking more along the lines of 1 lane just for loons like Methra. The others would then be Methra safe/free designated lanes.

We know you won’t drive down any road—drug addicts have their licence withdrawn.

No one from Victoria??

Yes, I did.

Most of the accidents on that road are caused by "tailgating, driver distraction, and road rage".

Not sure how a reasonable person could blame Dan for that.

And Larry is far from reasonable, especially when he has run out of codeine.
