Death trap

The entrance to the Whitford Tip and Clifton Rd are almost opposite. There have been numerous complaints and near misses her and reported to your organization. Today I almost had a head on collision with a truck and trailer turning into the tip. The truck was approaching the entrance to the tip when I pulled out of Clifton. He was obviously only looking at the oncoming traffic traveling up the Whitford Maraetai Rd. He had obviously sped up to get across before the oncoming traffic. Had I not stopped he would have hit me head on. He drove over two of the barrier markers as you will see. This intersection is undoubtedly going to kill a less experienced driver, or just less lucky. The tip used to use an alternative entrance off Trig Rd which has a proper median, and is not opposite a road which confuses drivers. They must start using this alternate for safety reasons. The highway has drastically increased flows due to large development at Beachlands. I have much experience with risk assessment and mitigation. This situation is without a doubt high in both its probability and consequence (probable death). I wish to see a risk assessment signed off by a traffic engineer over this intersection.
