White lines unclear, as many drivers are confused where to position their cars as they leave the slip road and enter the roundabout
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5159272.
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am writing to report an everyday confusion that I see for the past year as I commute from Taunton to Exeter.
As you exit M5 on Southbound side and about to enter the Sandygate Roundabout (in order to head to either the 2nd, 3rd or 4th exit, drivers on the 4th lane on the slip road (right-hand lane) struggle to position their cars and always get into the 3rd lane as they leave the slip road and enter the roundabout.
This happens during summer even when it's still bright outside. It could possibly due to the white lines overlapping each other. It is now worse as it gets dark early and starts to rain more.

Thank you for contacting National Highways about the white lining at junction 30, M5.
The lane lines are not all the way through the whole slip. White lining in lanes 1 & 2 starts at 80m before roundabout, lanes 2 & 3 starts 135m before roundabout.
We did refresh the nosing and nearside edge line this year and can confirm this slip will be included in our 2023/24 programme.
If you require any further information please contact our Customer Contact Centre on 0300 123 5000 or info@nationalhighways.co.uk, or visit our website at www.nationalhighways.co.uk.
Kind regards
National Highways
