Dangerous road markings
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6760608.
Fatal accident waiting to happen.
As you travel northbound on A4421 and if a vehicle is turning left into Stratton Audley Road, the road markings allow for overtaking by using the southbound traffic turn right lane. This is hugely dangerous as northbound traffic don’t have appropriate visibility to see if any southbound traffic is turning into the central lane to turn into Stratton Audley road. It’s a head on collision waiting to happen! Furthermore there is not enough space in the central lane for southbound traffic to turn right into Stratton Audley road to house a vehicle in all 3 lanes when large vehicles are travelling north and southbound. This needs to be addressed urgently!!
