White lines, causing confusion

Reported via mobile in the Road markings (NH) category anonymously at 11:20, Mon 29 May 2023

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4606647.

Hello, since the new traffic lights have been introduced on the roundabout, there has been a lot more traffic. This is not helped by the white lines not necessarily being very clear as to which lane you need to be in. For example, when approaching the roundabout from the m180 and heading west onto the m18, it is possible to use lanes 2 and 3 to achieve this direction. Things are okay up to the first set of traffic lights on the roundabout, but then when progressing to the second sets, I believe it would be helpful to have some guiding lines between the lights. Lane 1 goes to the direction of the services, lane 2 then becomes lane 1 and lane 3 becomes lane 2 at the next lights. However, the problem is that most do not move over as they do not necessarily realise the lanes move, hence the need for guiding lines. I personally drive this road 4times a week to get from scunthorpe to Goole for work and it is my most efficient route, but it seems to be getting worse and worse. Just today I have been beeped and gestured at for using the lanes correctly (and not pushing and shoving through the traffic although tempting at times)
