Re: 20 mph zones to be imposed

If lancs council are concerned about road safety they should have a serious rethink on how they mark up roundabouts because some of them are diabolical and are dangerous as they do not concur with what is in the highway code or what is taught when learning to drive.

one in particular is the roundabout near McDonald's after you exit whitebirk they force you to use the right hand lane to go straight on which is wrong and causes confusion to drivers who do not know the area as they are following the correct route according to the highway code and find themselves having to change lanes suddenly which is dangerous at rush hour's.

It seems many councils have thrown the highway code out the window and now mark up roundabouts as to which way they think the lines look the prettiest

as for 20mph zones it will help but with all the cars about these days especially around owen street where theres only enough room for 1 car to pass switching to a 1 way system may be of more use.

Also wouldnt hurt if the police fixed penalty notices to those cars parked on teh corner of junction exits
