Residents are being invited to have their say on plans to improve access to Sandy Park in Exeter.
Devon County Council has launched an online consultation on proposals to upgrade the existing ‘left in/left out only’ junction at Sandy Park Way to allow access to lanes in both directions on the A379.
Plans for the new junction, which will be traffic light controlled, include widening Sandy Park Way and the A379 inbound carriageway, and constructing a right turn lane on the A379 outbound carriageway for Sandy Park Way.

Exeter Chiefs star Tom Johnson believes the influx of new talent brought to Sandy Park this summer will only make the club stronger as they look to build ahead of the 2015/16 season.
The Devon club posted their best-ever finish in the Aviva Premiership last term, narrowly missing out on the end of season play-offs by virtue of an inferior points difference.
At the same time, Rob Baxter’s side reached a first-ever European semi-final, as well as being edged out right at the death by rivals Saracens in their attempts to defend their LV= Cup crown.
Former Chiefs player Chris Cracknell believes Exeter offers the perfect setting for the final round of this season's European Grand Prix Sevens Series.
After earlier rounds in both Moscow and Lyon, the Devon city will be the final stop-off point next month (July 11-12) for Europe's top 12 Sevens teams as they prepare to do battle at Sandy Park.
With qualification for next year's Olympics in Rio de Janeiro also up for grabs for a number of the competing teams, Cracknell believes the Exeter event will be a real spectacle for rugby-loving supporters in the region.
Byron McGuigan has spoken of his delight after today agreeing terms on a new one-year deal with Aviva Premiership side Exeter Chiefs.
The 25-year-old Namibian is the latest name to commit his future to the Devon club, having initially arrived at Sandy Park on a short-term deal to cover compatriot Chrysander Botha.
McGuigan, who has previously played for Border Bulldogs, Glasgow Warriors and Bay of Plenty, featured 17 times for the Chiefs last season, scoring three tries - including one on the final day of the season against Sale Sharks.
Digital Marketer Alastair Banks, Director of Optix Solutions, will be the guest speaker at July's Networking Breakfast.

It's been quite a season for Exeter Chiefs youngster Max Bodilly, but already the young Cornishman is targeting what he hopes will be an even bigger 2015/16 campaign.
As one of the growing number of players to emerge from the Devon club's hugely successful Academy programme, the 20-year-old back is looking to follow in the studmarks of fellow young guns Jack Nowell, Henry Slade, Dave Ewers, Luke Cowan-Dickie and Sam Hill in making the leap into first team regulars.
Certainly the Truro-born youngster has already demonstrated that he has the qualities to perform at the top...
Exeter Chiefs back-row Dave Ewers has shrugged off the disappointment of missing out on a place in England’s 50-man World Cup training squad and insists his season has still been a success.
Despite overwhelming support from World Cup winner Neil Back after a fine season at Sandy Park, Ewers was omitted from Red Rose head coach Stuart Lancaster’s initial plans.
His efforts have not gone unnoticed elsewhere though, with Ewers among the five-man shortlist for the Green Flag forward of the season gong at the Aviva Premiership awards evening on Wednesday.
In the end the play-off dream fell just short, but already Exeter Chiefs winger Matt Jess is setting his sights highs for next season in the Aviva Premiership.
After 22 rounds of top flight battle, the Chiefs were narrowly edged out on points’ difference by rivals Leicester Tigers and Saracens for one of the two remaining play-off berths.
For Chiefs players, officials and supporters the emotions following their final-day 44-16 success over Sale Sharks were somewhat bittersweet. Rob Baxter’s side could have done no more on the day, producing a seven-try display that ensured...
