The Trouble with the Bell Square Junction – the blind spot

The following sequence of pictures was taken from the viewpoint of a saloon car driver exiting right from Bell Square onto Bolton Road. (Look out for the Landrover and the blue car circled in yellow)

The blind spot does not exist if the driving position is higher eg a 4 x 4.

Further back from the junction, traffic can be seen through the gap in the wall but at the point, the pictures are taken the gap is not visible and oncoming cars disappear.
