Not sure about better, but it should make that junction safer.
To provide some balance, the change at the junction may have a knock-on effect on other local roads. As an example, people heading back towards Sunderland or the A19 from the family farm or go-kart track at Wardle Law, will now need to find an alternative route to the A19 or Sunderland. 3 out of 4 options will now involve going through residential areas (Seaton, Hall Lane, Doxford Park or A690 to Houghton and then doubling back on themselves).
