Ironically now that the junction is mostly traffic I've had more close calls in the last couple days than in the previous 2 years of going that route daily.
The few cars that are still using it are getting a lovely free run up at the junction and because it's all so empty, many of them are not bothering to slow down to check if anything is coming in the opposite direction before making a right turn.
Lots more pedestrians walking straight out into the mostly empty roads around the junction without taking a single glance too.
