Change Road Markings at A350 Lacock Crossroads

We the undersigned petition the council to alter the road markings to create a left turn/straight-on only layout at the A350 Lacock crossroads in both directions.

The stretch of the A350 Lacock crossroads has been the site of a number of accidents for a number of years. There have been a minimum of 16 accidents there over the past ten years, at least two of them fatal - both in the last three years and the most recent being in December 2015.

Where two lanes reduce to one at the traffic lights, cars almost compete at over-taking, often straying into oncoming traffic from the opposite direction. If the two lanes were marked 'left only' and 'straight-on' instead of the current layout, it is proposed that this would greatly reduce the temptation to overtake, and reduce accidents in this area, as is evident at the junction of the A350 Melksham McDonalds, where the same alterations were made.

This ePetition ran from 09/02/2016 to 31/12/2017 and has now finished.
