That’s an evil intersection. People coming out of McKellar and turning right onto William Slim end up in a very short merging lane. That doesn’t sound real tricky, but the main problem is that it’s unlike any other intersection I know of, and people just seem to get confused and make bad decisions. I lived next to that intersection for three years, and regularly had to jump my back fence to help people out after hearing the sounds of impact. No fatalities in that time, thankfully, but I wouldn’t have been surprised.
