-T junction between ramp road and sunset road is extremely dangerous and extremely busy in mornings and afternoons. With the lack of driving confidence of more than half of the drivers using the road, it is made even more dangerous. There is a lack of the understanding that while all traffic coming along sunset rd and wanting to turn left on ramp rd, a driver from ramp rd waiting to turn right on sunset can go, while still being mindful of traffic on sunset road. However if traffic on sunset wanting to turn right on ramp rd, do not wait behind the line, drivers from ramp rd aren't able to turn right on sunset.
-Sunset road carries a huge amount of cars in both directions coming from unsworth heights, east coast road and sycamore dr and cars do go very fast, not leaving big enough gaps to take turns out of ramp rd onto sunset rd.
-The fast speed of cars also contributes to not seeing a smaller car
traveling along sunset behind a bigger vehicle, for example van or truck, the truck turns left onto ramp rd and if a driver from ramp rd doesn't pay close attention the smaller speeding car "jumps" out from behind the turning truck. If the driver from ramp rd is already started to turn right onto sunset rd, you are toast.
Please please please can a solutions for a better intersection be found please please, have been traveling this route for years now and it's getting more and more dangerous.
