Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Another person added: "All it needs is drivers who understand they are joining a motorway. It is just a case of bad education and poor driving standards."

There were some in agreement over the dangers of the road, with one person saying: " Never felt safe, poorly designed - confusing if first using it."

But the majority took aim at how drivers navigate the junction, with one reader commenting: "Too many ditherers driving today...drive confidently, be aware of what others all around you are doing."

Another added: " Make your indication early and approach it with confidence and you'll be reet."

However, one reader pointed out that it's not always just about driving
