I am fed up of people taking the wrong lane onto the Robinhood from the London Road from the direction of the Clocktower. You know where the fire station is on the left.
I appreciate that the road markings were changed quite a while after the 'improvement' went live but even so! They now clearly show that you must take the left-hand lane for A4 and B4009, the white lines even show this as you enter the roundabout. So why do people still use the right hand lane (meant for A34 North only) and then cause those of us in the correct lane to look like we are trying to side swipe and cut up those who are in the wrong lane.

Obviously having met this situation on a daily basis as I work in the town I anticipate the situation and take extra care but more agressive drivers may force the wrong doer up the A34 ramp or even into the side/path of an innocent driver going up the ramp. It really is an accident waiting to happen as many people are making the same mistake.

Today this happened again and two drivers were giving me evils when in fact they were in the wrong.

Do you think the council would put a sign up if I worte them; perhaps saying something like 'choose correct lane' or 'new road layout'? or is it too late?
