'Confusing'
road markings are a risk to motorists, says Burnham MP
Burnham-On-Sea's
MP David Heathcoat-Amory says a set of 'confusing' road markings
running across a busy road junction in the town could be a potential
danger to motorists.
The
double yellow lines which run across the junction of Pier Street,
next to an access road into Somerfield supermarket, have been
attacked as "plain ludicrous" by town councillor Cllr
Arthur Thorogood.
And
this week, Burnham's MP joined the debate when he saw them himself,
as pictured.
"They
are at best confusing and at worst a possible hazard to motorists,"
he told Burnham-On-Sea.com. "Something should be done to
improve the junction."
But
a County Council highways spokeswoman told Burnham-On-Sea.com
that it had checked the markings and said it was satisfied that
they do not contravene regulations.
Cllr
Thorogood raised similar concerns about double yellow lines at
nearby Ham
Road in Burnham earlier this year.
