Road Markings
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4589188.
The road signage clearly states 3 lanes can be used to turn from the westbound M4 to the northbound A419.
The Road Markings are technically correct to take the 3 lanes around the roundabout. However, on almost all occasions the de facto behaviour is the middle right hand turn traffic drifts in to the left hand land for the right turn.
This is dangerous as it is used by heavy good vehicles and a serious accident is highly likely.
Recommendation: 1. Conduct an observation study on this junction to understand the de facto behaviour of the junction 2. Update signage and road markings to improve visibility and safety
Please note: 1. The markings are correct from a technical standpoint. The junction may not be fit for purpose in its current layout due to driver behaviour
