Poor signage on slip road for lanes on upcoming roundabout M5 Southbound
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4593522.
When leaving the motorway there is no clear sign about which lane goes in which direction at the roundabout. Standard practice is that the right lane goes right and the left lane would go left or straight on however the limited markings on the road seem to indicate that you can go right in both lanes, although these aren't fully clear either. I have seen several near crashes caused by this with some people choosing to be in the left lane to go right, and others in the right lane thinking they are in the correct lane and nearly merging into the car in the left. I myself have been in both lanes and been honked at various times and the truth of it is I'm not sure who is in the right and who is in the wrong. Could a clear road sign indicating lane usage be erected on the slip road exit, as well as clear marking put on the roundabout
Thanks
