Confusing Annerley Road Sign to Be Rectified After 2 Years

Did you know that a confusing road sign, indicating that Mt Gravatt is to the west instead of southeast of Annerley from that point, has been standing on a roundabout along Ekibin Rd for more than two years? Traffic reporter Olympia Kwitowski recently posted a tweet about it.

Ms Kwitowski said in an interview that she regularly sees this Annerley road sign because she has lived all her life near the Jessica Andrews park on Ekibin Rd. She pointed out the mistake, which indicated that Mt Gravatt is to the west instead of southeast of Annerley.

After sharing the sign on Twitter, Ms Kwitowski received feedback that most of the locals haven’t really paid attention to the mistake. Some netizens said they’ve never noticed the wrong arrow pointing to Mt Gravatt despite using the road frequently. 

However, those who did notice the mistake said that it has been that way for more than two years.

Ms Kwitowski’s tweet caught the attention of Queensland Transport Minister Mark Bailey who tagged Brisbane City Council to look into fixing the confusing sign.  

Council’s Twitter account replied to Mr Bailey and said that work on the sign could be “possible within 20 working days.”
