Another citizen, identified as gnany (@valkala), shared a personal account of the danger at the junction. He mentioned, “The turn from OU to Adikmet Road is dangerous due to the damaged surface. Two months ago, I saw a motorcyclist and his family fall as a car turned left, leaving them no room to maneuver. Thankfully, they weren’t hurt, but why has this problem been ignored for so long?”
