DO NOT overtake turning vehicle.

These words seem simple enough, but it seems many road users are continuing to ignore the signs plastered in red and yellow on the back of trucks.

Some would think it obvious to give trucks space while turning corners and others shoot up the inside being narrowly missed by a following trailer.

The intersection of Wood and Albion Sts has been subject to many road-safety debates and yesterday morning yet another near-miss was witnessed when a car decided to shoot up the inside lane while a B-double was turning westbound.

A spokeswoman for Transport and Main Roads said safety at the intersection was everyone's responsibility.

"It's important that all road users follow the rules," she said.

"Vehicles up to and including type one road trains have approval to travel through this intersection.

"Despite the high volume of traffic at this intersection, historically there have not been many crashes."

The spokeswoman said transport and main roads have completed several improvements at the intersection this year to enhance safety.

"We've extended the painted line on the Wood St slip lanes and painted two directional arrows in Albion St," she said.

"Sections of a faded line near the intersection have also been repainted.

"The existing 'right turn lane must turn right' sign was updated with a new high visibility one."

President of the Warwick and District Road Safety committee Graham Buchner said drivers needed to be responsible for their actions.

"I don't care whether it's two lanes or five lanes; there's a sign on the back of trucks for a reason," Mr Buchner said.

"Drivers need to watch and pay attention to what's going on around them.

"I don't know how there haven't been many more serious accidents at this intersection."

Mr Buchner said he failed to see a solution to the intersection if drivers couldn't smarten up.

"People are so impatient," he said.

"There are plenty of signs ... I think there needs to be a camera there so people can be fined for doing the wrong thing.

"Drivers need to remember that death can't be reversed."

Mr Buchner said it's up to car drivers to watch out for trucks.

"They are a lot bigger and need more road," he said.

"They try hard to get around that intersection in the one lane, but it's almost physically impossible.

"Even though the trailers track well behind the trucks these days, it's still hard."

Even though there seems to be more trucks travelling through Warwick, Mr Buchner still believes we don't need a heavy-vehicle bypass.

"Forget about a bypass for Warwick," he said.

"There are so many places that need it more like Toowoomba and Tenterfield.

"Toowoomba is more important because there are a lot of road trains carting from out west to the Port of Brisbane.

"They need to fix Mt Lindesay Rd before Warwick gets a bypass too."

Mr Buchner said when he first moved to Warwick about 57 years ago a bypass was a hot topic.

"They said it would go from somewhere near the eight mile, along Lyndhurst Lane and end up on the southern side of town.

"But many decades later, it's still just all talk."
