Vehicles can turn right at the "One Way" left junction, 7th March

Thu, 07 Mar 2024 15:51:53 +0000
51.867944 0.537062

When you come out of the road with the BP petrol station, the hotel, and Toby Carvery in, the sign at the junction with Notley Cross (B1256) says it is a "Turn Left", "One Way" only junction. But vehicles always turn right there, to prevent them from having to go down to the roundabout, turn round, and come back again. Presumably it is "One Way" left only, to prevent accidents with on-coming traffic, as it is on a fast piece of road and a slight bend in the road too. Vehicles turn right as there are no bollards or islands to prevent you from doing so.

Vehicles making illegal right hand turn, 31st January

Wed, 31 Jan 2024 10:09:54 +0000
51.867989 0.537079

Vehicles make an illegal right hand turn when leaving the side road from the Holiday Inn Express/ Toby Carvery/ BP Petrol Station at Notley Cross. They cross a dedicated right turn only lane on B1256 turning into the services area and cross two opposing lanes with a closing speed of up to 120 mph (National Speed Limit). Once they've made the turn and crossed both lanes, they do not come up to speed and cause disruption / risk to road traffic in both directions of the B1256. Signage is poor (there's a single sign stating 'all traffic' with an arrow pointing left. The junction will benefit from lane bollards preventing vehicles turning right.
