Lived here for about 15 years now but these past few of years have really opened my eyes to how much the area is growing and how much this road is such a massive bottleneck for the community.
Need to use Taylors Rd to drive my son to Copperfield College. The school is only a few minutes away but the depression sets in everyday once we hit the roundabout at Gilson College. Dozens of drivers everyday illegally turning right from the left-hand lane at this roundabout, exiting from Tenterfield Dr, so they can turn into Gilson College. I can see it is a massive hassle to do the legal turn from the correct lane and then hope someone lets you into the left lane to enter Gilson College, as it is bumper to bumper here.
Even on weekends the road is a hassle to drive. At around 11am, it is again backed up at Gilson College. That’s 1.7km of single lane, bumper to bumper traffic to hit Kings Rd on a bloody weekend. How fun. We have to dip through Kurung Dr to Gillespie Rd instead.
We have also had a crash at the Braeswood Rd lights in 2025. Coming back home during peak hours. So this road will stay tainted with us forever.
