It may be that it is an apropriate junction but it just can't cope with the traffic load anymore due to it's proximity to the school, unfortunately any road can be safe for the vast majority of the day but go near it during the school run and all of a sudden it seems like Boudicea is behind the wheel of 90% of the cars
Is there a photo of that junction floating around the web anywhere? Could be insteresting to see if it's a dual carriageway crossing a standard 2 lane road as we have to wrestle with one here every day and it's a nightmare when it rains as the school run just gets even worse
It's difficult to argue the toss on the road layout without seeing what the road layout is.
By the way I'm not pinning the blame on parents taking kids to school here, the increase in the ammount of traffic on the road just seems to bring out the worse in some already dubious drivers out there. All of a sudden they realise that they are cutting it fine as they are now in more traffic than normal and they become aggressive in their driving style
We see it here on a daily basis unfortunately on the way to work
My fault for getting a job in education I suppose
