Road markings severely faded
Reported via desktop in the Road marking white lines or studs category anonymously at 15:38, Monday 12 January 2026
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8674043.
It's really difficult to see the road markings at night, particularly when it's damp. This has led to the car in front of me slamming on its brakes when a car approaches from the other direction on several occasions. As well as the lines in the centre of the road, it'd be worth putting lines on the outside of the road to aid visibility. I reported this a while ago and was told it would be fixed last year.
