IMHO that junction is actually pretty bad.
Drivers find it very hard to pull out of Gilpin Avenue because of the parked cars on their left and often a bus at the bus stop on the right. They will happily ignore a bike in order to take advantage of what they think is a gap.
It is complicated by plenty of minor roads on the north side of the road with cars pulling out fast or waiting to turn in.
Also plenty of muppets hoon past you after the bus stop and turn hard left into Gilpin Avenue.
