Murray Street, Hobart and Main Road, Glenorchy
Main Road, Glenorchy has unfortunately made the top 5 on our list. Lots of entry points, street parking, and bumper-to-bumper one-lane roads make this stretch prone to accidents. Entering the top 5, and sharing the spotlight, is Murray Street, Hobart. A three-lane one-way road heading into the CBD with street parking on both sides means this can be tricky for locals and visitors alike.
Sandy Bay Road, Sandy Bay
Holding onto the #4 spot for a second year, Sandy Bay Road has been present on our list for a while. Drive with care and help change the stats to knock Sandy Bay Road off the list for good.
Same road, different ‘burb. Jumping ahead two spots to #3 is the busy corridor of Main Road in Moonah. Flanked by shops, restaurants, and residences, seeing it move forward is unfortunately unsurprising.
Holding the #2 spot for another year is Macquarie Street, Hobart. A lot of traffic heads into the city along this one-way couplet, which means congested traffic is almost assured.
Jumping up to the #1 spot, and taking the title of Hobart’s most dangerous road, is Argyle Street, Hobart. A two-lane one-way road heading out from the CBD, this stretch has plenty of entry points and street parking on both sides.
Stay alert when travelling out along this road. It can be tricky for tourists and locals alike, especially during peak hour, with merging traffic mixing with parked cars.
