Road markings leave much to the imagination

As you might have noticed, contractors have been busy repainting the markings of our town's roads.

However, the ‘new’ road markings in Rietfontein Road, close to the Ravenswood Road intersection, seem to be confusing motorists.

Where there used to be a diagonal line (indicated in red in above picture) for those in the left lane wanting to swerve to the middle lane to drive straight down Rietfontein Road, there’s now – nothing.

 

This is what the road markings on this section used to look like.

 

The ‘new’ lines between the left and middle lane have been confusing motorists wanting to drive straight down Rietfontein Road.

A number of motorists wanting to go straight down, have accidentally been in the wrong lane – the left lane – and had to suddenly swerve to the middle lane, almost causing an accident.
