It is dangerous. When you take the eastbound ramp from the pike with the intention of going north on 301, you are faced with two challenges: a big blind spot blocks the view of southbound 301 traffic and an awkward angle when trying to see traffic coming from south 301.

A similar awkward viewing angle exists if you are on the westbound ramp trying to access north 301.

With the major new development planned just south of that interchange, traffic is definitely going to ramp up.
