Dist:1.2km west<br/>Another view of the junction with traffic negotiating the almost blind turning on to the A35. Note the recent 50mph restriction

Dist:1.2km west<br/>A busy and hazardous crossroads at the northeast corner of Morden Park, which gives the junction its name. The slightly staggered junction of the B3075 along with the bend in the A35 at this point, hinders visibility in all directions. Today, there are temporary traffic lights governing the junction, although there is no sign of roadworks – so perhaps it's an experiment to see if lights would improve the junction's safety. Note that the modern signage retains the traditional finial from the original finger-post – giving location and grid reference. For a close-up of the finial, see [[1752525]].

Dist:1.2km west<br/>This is one of the most dangerous junctions in Dorset. The B3057 from Wareham to Blandford crosses a fast stretch of the A35 by a staggerered junction with limited visibility. Note the old top piece from the original finger post showing location and grid reference mounted atop the modern road sign
