Is our estate entrance dangerous?

As drivers, you'd have encountered the following by now:

  1. Lorry parked at bus lane, blocking your view of incoming traffic as you attempt to drive out of the car park onto Queensway.
  2. Cars barrelling down the side road, heading towards Holland Road at F1 speeds, making it hard for you to get onto the Queensway side road.
  3. You slow down to turn into the car park, but the car behind you doesn't realise you are making a sharp left at Viz instead of Holland Road, and continues to tailgate you. You slow to make a turn and he horns or gesticulates/swears as he drives past.
Have you encountered such problems? Is our entrance dangerous?

Let me know. Do you know that there's no less than 6 signs indicating Holland Road on the left, on the road leading towards Viz? INCLUDING the big one right in front of our estate entrance.

I've been in touch with LTA and as usual they claimed to have 'studied' the road situation around the estate entrance (ie they looked at a map) and said there's no issue. Typical.
