Road safety - taking vehicle out from home - ramp to road - collisions?

Yesterday,  I  attended a marriage held in a community hall. Vehicle parking is in cellar with upward ramp from the road.

While leaving, I have to be cautious as the ramp is steep and immediately leads to the road. No visibility on to either side of the road till vehicle comes down as the gates of the community hall block it.

Every possibility exists, of collision with vehicles moving on the road.

Same is true at many places as we can see. If some offset is provided between gates, wall and road, it will help drivers to see others and be cautious. Even ramp also should not be extended upto the road.  Some flat landing space atleast for one vehicle should be ensured before joining the road.
