Queensland's most dangerous places to drive
Every reported crash on Queensland roads over the last 10 years, ranked by a severity score that weights deaths and serious injuries most heavily. Find your suburb, or see the worst locations statewide.
“People injured” counts everyone hurt in these crashes, from minor injuries through to deaths. “Deaths” is the number of those people who died.
This map covers recurring crash black spots — locations with at least three casualties over the period. The 336 deaths at these black spots are part of about 2,523 lives lost in reported Queensland crashes over the same period — around 13%. Most road deaths happen in one-off crashes on regional and rural roads that never form a cluster, so the black-spot figure is only a fraction of the state’s road toll. For the official toll, see the Queensland Government road safety statistics.

Are these locations being fixed?
Dangerous locations can be nominated for the Australian Government’s Black Spot Program, which funds safety works — roundabouts, traffic signals, turn lanes and similar treatments — at sites with a record of casualty crashes. Anyone can nominate a location: local councils, community groups and individuals. In Queensland these projects are delivered through the state’s road-safety program and announced each year. Where a location has recently been treated, the improvement may not yet show in the injury totals here, which span the last 10 years — so a high historical count does not always mean a location is still dangerous today.
