Hope no one is hurt badly that’s got to be worse junction on island surely all the money this council waste can’t they just put a roundabout there would be so easier for traffic to get out of junctions but I suppose this council and easy just don’t get on
It would be more helpful if drivers took an eye test and take notice of the speed limits..
Worse junction on the island you say tell me you are jesting.
Everyone has to give way at that junction, and there’s no blind spots, so how did this happen???…
What a pathetic statement there is no problem with the junction, there is plenty of visibility both ways.
The problem being more and more bad drivers… and it will get worse, as the Island fills up !!
