Clearer lines and signs will be installed on a chaotic junction in High Wycombe next week, after a confusing new road layout caused outrage among motorists.
High Wycombe roads spiralled in to chaos in recent weeks with drivers struggling to understand, or simply ignoring a major new road layout.
People travelling along Oxford Road from the town centre towards West Wycombe Road will have encountered a big change in the last month, with the left hand lane now only to be used for people turning left.
Following feedback from frustrated motorists Bucks County Council has announced new lines and signs will be installed on the road overnight on Tuesday, June 7 – weather permitting - which should make it easier to negotiate the bridge street junction.
Transport Cabinet Member Mark Shaw said: “We've been monitoring the present arrangements for the past few weeks and the feedback I'm getting is that they're not clear enough.
“We're more than happy to make the necessary adjustments to make lines and signs clearer and give motorists earlier warning.”
The changes include painting more white lines and direction arrows further back from the Bridge Street junction, on the junction itself and amending direction signs.
BCC has said it will continue to monitor the junction and traffic flows.
