Totally agree. Arrows painted on the road are frequently not visible due to cars blocking the view of the road surface.
As long asthe arrows are far enough back from the junction, then it is only an issue when people drive too fast or too close to each other – both of which are illegal.

Only one thing bothers me on the B&Q roundabout. Heading from town to go to Sainsbury’s I always get in the right hand lane then signal to go into the left hand lane to go to Sainsbury’s. Quite often cars get in the middle lane as if heading for Mold then squeeze in to the lane to head for Sainsbury’s.
That is because they are idiots. They are actually using the wrong lane to turn right…..same as at ASDA!

No, the people who are stupid are those that spend their lives thinking they’re perfect drivers and never get any manoeuvre wrong. ;)

Very true. We all make mistakes, heaven knows i have made plenty. What seperates the men from the boys is when mistakes are made, they are acknowledged by the person who made them and tolerated and forgiven by the other road users. There is not enough consideration on the roads today. People are happy to beep at other drivers and gesticulte when they would not dare to if they were walking. Just because it is somebodys right of way, doesnt mean they have to take it every time.
Having reached more or less a firm view about how to use ASDA roundabout perhaps we could broaden the thread a little to talk about TESCO roundabout.
Every day we approach TESCO roundabout in the right hand lane intending to drive towards Marchwiel.
It is quite common for drivers coming from Sleepy Panda direction to drive around the roundabout without indicating at all but then to indicate their intention to leave the roundabout to travel along Holt Road.
Now, if they didn’t indicate at all I could understand but to turn right around the roundabout, in front of waiting motorists waiting to proceed ahead, then to signal to go down Holt Road seems a bit odd.
Some drivers don’t bother indicating, we get that, but the ones that don’t indicate to go around but do indicate to exit, what are they thinking ?
There’s one silvery Vauxhall Astra that we often cross paths with around 6pm that does this every time we see them. Tonight included, which caused the driver in the left lane at the side of me to skid to a halt abruptly, hence my concern.
Is it something new in the Highway Code ?A little further along as we drive in the right land lane passing Mecca we often see cars happily overtaking us in the left hand lane then at the last minute attempting to take the right lane to cross the roundabout by Eagles Meadow Penalty Fine Collection Bays ( Car Park shrug ) entrance. If nobody lets them in they simply drive along to the left of the cars in the queue and its pot luck whether anybody turns towards Derby Hill correctly from the right lane as marked, without an impact.
How entertaining if one has that frame of mind, just hopefully nobody will be hurt because of it.
