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.
