New priority rules may cause confusion says AA.

[mjr]

This particular national route is very close to my house and I refuse to use it as I think it is incredibly dangerous having to look 270 degrees, whilst I think the idea behind the rule would make the junction significantly safer, the implementation of the new rules so far seems a bit crappy to say the least.

The bigger problem is the highways department that built that cycle path is incompetent and it complies with no design manual since 2008 and possibly earlier.
