Faint road markings
Reported via mobile in the Road Markings - Worn/Faded category anonymously at 20:44, Thu 22 June 2023 using FixMyStreet Pro
Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4706205.
Road markings are very faint - this is from google street view and is much worse now.
On multiple occasions over the last year, I've had to swerve into another lane because others think they're following their lane but the markings are not easy to see. Others have also had to swerve to avoid

The Road markings on Bedford Road roundabout are very faint. Almost every day there is a near miss accident due to this. Needs rectifying ASAP

I find that this is urgent. You cannot see where to go in the dark. Please change the priority of this to urgent. There will be an accident. Unless you know where to go, you are dangerous. People swerving to get in the right lane, especially when it is dark.

So based on your responce when people in the middle lane, cut off/ crash into people in the right lane because there are no visible lines when entering the roundabout; as has happened to multiple people - Northampton highways is prepared to take responsibility for the legal remifications to poor road markings i presume? The middle lane filters to the left, and the right filters to the middle but no signage or markings eludes to this constitutes a high risk of an accident, and your investigator is either incorrect or incompetant. everyone should not this; and if an accident occurs; take legal action against the council for not maintaining the road safely or correctly

So when two cars are going 40mph, those cars or even bikes possibly colliding due to lines being extremely faint and not visible in some weather conditions, isn’t a safety issue?
This has worsened since I first reported almost a year ago and appreciate funding is low but this is not safe. The only solution for me at the moment is to avoid lane 2

It’s not clear enough which Lane you need to be in when entering the roundabout and where this lane goes further down without markings

I had a very near miss today, as a car in the wrong lane almost swerved into my car. What are you waiting for? Does someone need to die before you fix this???

I reported this June 2023 and still hasn't been sorted...

Why do the timescales keep moving? Looks like a first report on this tread was June 2023. Many reports of near misses and accidents waiting to happen. Please just put the lines. it can't be that hard to action.

I have had so many issues with this roundabout. The anxiety of using this road is ridiculous, you never know who is where, what they are going to do until someone tries to drive into you. Ridiculous it’s been on this long.
