Bold warning: incorrect A34 junction road markings create a real danger on the road. The big junction near Didcot was shut all weekend for resurfacing and maintenance, and it reopened at 05:00 GMT on Monday – but with markings that were still wrong.
Snowdon said local residents contacted him with safety concerns after near-miss incidents. “I’ve had many people tell me they nearly cut into the A34 southbound lane, which is signposted,” he explained. “Then they realize the southbound lane is actually to the right, and at the last moment they veer across.”
The problem is that you’re mixing drivers who aren’t familiar with the area with locals who know which lane to take but may ignore road signs, creating a recipe for disaster.
