A34 Clayton Bypass - exit from Barn Rd roundabout heading north

Re recent report Reference: 7901537 about the lack of road lane markings approaching this roundabout from the south, I'd like to suggest that the scope of the work required is quite a lot bigger than that. We first came to live at Lower Heath eight years ago, and it is only quite recently that we have witnessed drivers using the space on the roundabout to move to the outside of the carriageway on exit so that they can position their cars in the right-turn lane before they reach the traffic lights to head towards the town. However the width of the as A34 as it leaves the roundabout is constrained so that there aren't two lanes until uphill of the the pedestrian controlled traffic lights. I believe that this should be done before lane markings are put down; then the roundabout should also then be marked with the two lanes. I'd also add that there is only one lane to access the roundabout when travelling south; drivers are in practice 'creating' two, but by so doing those on the near side of the carriageway are driving over a narrow lane originally designated for cyclists, not used/badly faded and so breaking the Highway Code.
