}Michael,
 If you are taking photos of the area, get onto workplace health and
safety because one of the conditions of obtaining a builders licence
is to prevent run-off from trucks and the site onto the road.
 I would also recommend that anyone who comes off in this area starts
legal action against the BCC for not policing the area.

 Warning ...
 For those who cycle the back streets from Toowong to UQ (St Lucia) 
 ... a number of cyclists have fallen at the approaches and at the 
 intersection of Austral Street and Jerdanefield Road ... where 
 construction work recently commenced on a nearby unit development.
 It seems there may be two (or more) causes ... one of course is the 
 speed of cyclists taking the corner ... ;-)
 The other cause includes (i) gravel, concrete overspill, sand, silt 
 etc from vehicles supplying the site and/or moving to and from it
... 
 and (ii) oil, grease, etc dropped in patches on the road where the 
 vehicles either wait to access the site or park legally or
illegally.
 On a number of occasions it appears lines of trucks have formed up
in 
 Jerdanefield Road ... including on one occasion blocking a fire 
 brigade unit that then had to reverse back up to Ryans Road.
 For some cyclists, this may not be very serious ..... unless someone

 ends up on the ground under a moving vehicle or hits a post or tree
...!
