Moreton Bay road in top crash hotspots
An intersection in Moreton Bay is one of the worst in Greater Brisbane, according to the latest AAMI Crash Hotspot Index.
Figures from more than 40,000 insurance claims across Greater Brisbane in 2025, place the junction of Morayfield Rd and Graham Rd second on the list.
All five of the worst crash hotspots - including Morayfield - show nearly one-in three collisions are “nose-to-tail”.
Greater Brisbane’s Top Five Crash Hotspots:
1 - Mains Road, Sunnybank Mains Road & McCullough Street
2 - Morayfield Road, Morayfield Morayfield Road & Graham Road
3 - Gympie Road, Aspley Gympie Road & Webster Road
4 - Logan Road, Mount Gravatt Pacific Motorway & Logan Road
5 - Gympie Road, Chermside Gympie Road & Webster Road
“They’re heavily trafficked roads with multiple lanes, busy intersections, shopping precincts, car parks and constant stop-start traffic, where even a momentary lapse in concentration can lead to a crash,” AAMI Motor Prevention Manager, Mary Kennedy said.
“The vast majority of claims we’re seeing are not high-speed collisions. They’re everyday bingles like nose to tail crashes and failing to give way, which means they’re also some of the most preventable.
“Afternoons remain Brisbane’s peak prang time, when school pick-ups, commuters, shoppers, and heavier traffic volumes all converge.
“It’s a timely reminder to slow down mentally as much as physically, stay patient and expect the unexpected.
“What’s particularly interesting is how closely our driving behaviour data aligns with our claims data.
“Brisbane drivers score exceptionally well when it comes to managing their speed, but acceleration, turning and braking are where we see the greatest opportunity for improvements.”
AAMI Driver Rewards (ADR) technology via the AAMI App has also provided insights into how Brisbane motorists are driving.
Scores out of 100 are given for five key behaviours – speeding, distraction, acceleration, braking, and cornering.
The good news is Brisbane drivers are doing the right thing when it comes to speed, with an average speeding score of 96.7. Phone distraction also did well with an average score of 89.8.
However, acceleration (76.1), cornering (76.3) and braking (77.3) were Brisbane drivers’ lowest scoring behaviours.
