Metroad 2 (Ipswich Motorway, Riawena Road, Mt Gravatt
- Capalaba Road)
A part of Australia's National Highway, the Ipswich
Motorway is one Brisbane's most used roads and travels
from the interchange with the Warrego Hwy (NH-A2) and
the Cunningham Hwy (NH15) at Dinmore and Riverview through
to the Gateway Motorway at Mackenzie.
It passes through several suburbs including Goodna,
Gailes, Wacol, Oxley, Rocklea, Coopers Plains and Wishart.
Metroad 2 is freeway from Dinmore to Rocklea before
reverting to local arterial road standard.

General
View at Redbank
Ipswich Mwy as it heads into Redbank, with
emergencystopping bay on the left. Even though this
road is National Highway, it seems most shoulders don't
meet National Highway minimum widths, so there are these
bays along the route. Looking eastbound, October 2005.
