THE intersection of Roe Highway and the Great Eastern Highway in Hazelmere has been ranked in the top five in the city for congestion.

Main Roads has included the intersection in its list of the top 20 worst in the Perth metropolitan area.

RAC’s 2023 Commuting and Congestion survey revealed 50 per cent of Perth’s peak-hour drivers were unhappy with their commute, with satisfaction levels dropping the more they had to drive in peak hour.

Almost two-thirds of members said fixing pinch points, such as those at busy intersections, would be the most effective method of easing congestion on Perth roads.

The number one worst intersection was Reid Highway and Erindale Road in Balcatta, with three on the Tonkin Highway, which just last week marked the completion of the Tonkin Gap.

Main Roads said planning was also underway for upgrades at Roe Highway and Great Eastern Highway Bypass and Wanneroo Road and Hepburn Avenue.
