THEY are some of the busiest intersections in Warwick and now a community group has revealed the top six spots you're likely to have a prang, or worse.

Warwick Community Road Safety Group secretary Andrew Gale said there were six intersections for which the group held grave concerns.

Each has seen countless accidents, some fatal, and now questions are being asked about what can be done to boost their safety.

A spokesman from Queensland Transport and Main Roads acknowledged responded with their outlooks for each intersection.

"We are aware of traffic needs on highways throughout Warwick and safety is a priority," he said.

Albion and Wood Sts

Mr Gale said the corner outside Hungry Jack's had always been the group's "biggest concern".

"We want to have better overhead signage," he said.

He said the main issue was out-of-towners who braved the corner but were unable to see the line markings and had a GPS "screaming at them".

"People are driving in a foreign town, they don't want to get lost and navigation becomes their main focus," Mr Gale said.

"They don't notice two measly arrows painted on the ground."

The TMR spokesman said line marking at the Wood and Albion Sts intersection would be refreshed in coming weeks, weather permitting.

Wood and Dragon Sts

Warwick's Jess Ryan knows first-hand the danger of Wood and Dragon Sts.

Three weeks ago, she was forced to a complete stop on the highway when a ute pulled out in front of her car, missing it by centimetres.

"If hadn't been looking, I'd be dead," she said.

Mr Gale said there was a community call for traffic lights at the intersection but he believed Warwick "had enough".

"What we would prefer is it to become left turn only," he said.

There are no planned upgrades for the intersection.

Percy and Albion sts

Mr Gale said this intersection had the same problem as Wood and Dragon Sts.

"Drivers are sitting and waiting and then have to cross four lanes if they're going straight or turning right," he said.

"I'd encourage drivers to avoid the intersection if they're turning right.

"If you're going to cross the highway, go down to Fitzroy St, and use the traffic lights."

There are no planned changes for the intersection.

Yangan Rd turn-off

Mr Gale said the main issue for this intersection was banked up school traffic.

"It's always been a concern for us as a group because it's near a school zone," he said

"I'd like to see it made no right turn between certain times," he said.

"People sit there wanting to turn right but, when you turn right you have to give way to all the people turning left.

"They take half a chance, zoom out and that's when accidents happen.

"Our worst case scenario is a school bus being involved in a crash there."

Eight Mile

It's something we at the Daily News have covered far too many times - a collision at the Eight Mile.

The Eight Mile turn-off is one of Warwick's most fatal spots, and Mr Gale said it did not have to be that way.

"We won't be happy until we see a flyover," he said on behalf of the group.

"It has most definitely had the most fatals in the area."

He was disappointed when people said it was drivers' faults when major crashes occurred at the turn-off.

"If you disobey the road rules, you deserve to have your licence taken off you, not your life," he said.

The TMR spokesman said changes for the Eight Mile could be on the horizon.

"We recently undertook a planning project to determine the preferred option for an upgrade of the Eight Mile Intersection," he said.

"The preferred option was identified as an overpass for traffic travelling from Toowoomba to Warwick (passing over and then merging with the Cunningham Hwy).

"A business case was completed as part of this project and will form the basis for future funding submissions to the Federal Government."

Mr Gale said it was an optimistic step from the department.

"It's a proven killer and we're glad a business case has been put forward by the State Government to progress those final upgrades," he said

Sandy Creek

Six months after a horror crash claimed the life of Warwick resident Ivy Little, change may be on the horizon for Sandy Creek turn-off.

The Main Roads spokesman confirmed a road and signage upgrade.

"We are also in the process of finalising a crash site assessment after a fatality at the Cunningham Hwy and Sandy Creek Rd intersection in Warwick earlier this year," he said.

"Outcomes will assist planning for future works under our road safety program.

"In the meantime, we installed No Stopping signs and yellow line marking on the passing lane to prevent motorists stopping in the lane."

Drivers responsible

While upgrades and changes are well and good, Mr Gale said it was essentially up to the driver to exercise responsible driving and avoid crashes.

"It's important to promote a low-risk driving strategy," he said. "Take the high-risk intersections out of the trip.

"Avoid the horror intersections and drive the extra couple of hundred metres to traffic lights.

"It might cost you a little extra time, but it could prove lifesaving in the end," he said.
