The commute to Brisbane from the north is being described as a "free carpark" with lengthy delays back more than 25 kilometres to Narangba, all thanks to a breakdown.
The breakdown in Nudgee was causing lengthy delays back to Boundary Road about 6.20am, according to Australian Traffic Network traffic reporter Olympia Kwitowski.

It was also sending delays back along the Deagon Deviation, toward Redcliffe.
The breakdown had been cleared by 6.45am but was causing major delays, with heavy delays still back to Bald Hills at 7.30am.

To the south, a three-vehicle nose-to-tail crash was slowing things down on the Pacific Motorway inbound through Woolloongabba but not to the same extent and it was cleared by 7am.
Traffic was also slow through Logan along the M1, just south of the Gateway Motorway merge that has been the subject of so much political to-and-froing.
