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.
Totally agree with your statement. The angle of the eastbound ramp merging with Rt 301 northbound had major sightline limitations. Lucky that there is not too much traffic on 301N that goes past the TPK entrance ramp. A longer merge lane would definitely help.
