Lots of places like that. Lorries exiting Heygates are a hazard round here and used to tear up the road surface as well. Latter problem eased after they widened the splay of the junction.
The fixation with safeguarding at any cost means the local comp now has security like a defence establishment (albeit minus guns). Massive traffic jam every day at drop off time and again at home time.
