Motorists must adhere to road markings

Motorists should pay attention to road markings to avoid accidents.

EDITOR – I encourage people who are driving from the Pick ‘n Pay car park in Hillcrest (from the small roundabout) across Old Main Road to the Hillcrest Corner multi-storey car park (Checkers/Woolworths), to look carefully at the road markings.

The left hand lane is only for people turning left. The right hand lane is for people turning right and for people going straight on, ie. into the Hillcrest Corner car park. During several times, I have nearly been taken out (and I have seen it happen to others) because people get onto the left land, but then drive straight across, which is dangerous for pedestrians who are crossing on the right lane. The interesting thing is that they then yell at the people in the correct lane.

Obviously they think they are in the right (which they are not) so perhaps they should have a good look at the road markings.
