Most Dangerous Roads in Perth during Peak Hour Traffic

One thing many people want to know when getting from A to B are the intersections that take more than five minutes to get through. The problem we don't usually realise is that impatience leads to many accidents.

RAC has published the top 10 RED spots - intersections where people get most angry about in Perth. Six of the 10 are in the northern suburbs which we'll leave it up to you to conclude what you may about that... here are the best intersections to avoid in Perth.

WA's worst traffic red spots - and why:

1. Burns Beach Rd – Connolly Dve
The merging of lanes at the intersection's roundabout combined with the volume of traffic causes congestion.

2. Tonkin Hwy – Horrie Miller Dve
High volume of traffic from the airport and industrial area; inadequate traffic lights system.

3. Beaufort St – Walcott St
On-street parking blocks traffic flow and the traffic light system is inadequate for the amount of traffic.

4. Gnangara Rd – Beechboro Rd
A non-controlled intersection with heavy traffic including trucks.

5. Mitchell Fwy – Hepburn Ave
Merging lanes can't cope with the amount of traffic.

6. Joondalup Dve – Cheriton Dve
A non-controlled intersection with high traffic volume.

7. Reid Hwy – Malaga Dve
Long delays at the intersection's traffic lights and a high volume of traffic.

8. Great Eastern Hwy – Roe Hwy
Long delays at the intersection’s traffic lights and heavy traffic including trucks.

9. Reid Hwy – Alexander Dve
Long delays at the intersection's traffic lights and a high volume of traffic.

10. Reid Hwy – Mirrabooka Ave
Long delays at the intersection's traffic lights and a high volume of traffic.
