Photo-a-Day  (Sunday, 12th January, 2020)

Probably done by the same crew who covered the pavements in my street with an asphalt compound a few years ago, without bothering to sweep the pavements first.
They laid the stuff over a layer of dead leaves, sweet wrappers, old cig packets, and dog ends.
When they'd done, it looked more like a modern art collage than a footpath.

If they had measured from kerb to kerb and say it was 30ft then lines should be at 10ft centres, Not rocket science?

Wigan Council dont half waste OUR money. But surely, who ever painted the white lines should have thought mm this don't look right.

The Council once covered our pavement with tarmac and covered over the small square water on/off grid tap for the water board to turn off in case of emergency.
It was only when the Water came to do work in the area, it was discovered.

PeterP. 15 FOOT if it's 30 FOOT.

There used to be a time when Inspectors looked at any work done before payment was made by the Council... What's happened? That is disgraceful, it's like sweeping up the dirt and putting it underneath the carpet! Did no one complain in the street? Obviously not if its still the same. It's unbelievable! We are warned about 'Cowboys' and then the town employ them!

They recently painted lines on Bolton Road in Ashton. The lane for turning right into Bryn Road South is just about wide enough for a motor bike.

Alan go to specsavers there are three lanes not two.So therefore three lanes at 10ft.

The LH pavement seems to be excessively wide: much wider than the traffic lane.

Does it need to be so wide?

Perhaps there is a case for dressing the kerb over, one paving flag's width to the left?

No priscus they would have done the paving first.

Priscus the road is wide enough to take three lanes of traffic it just needs the white lines remarking out at the correct width

The markings for the left lane surely must run parallel from the green light, otherwise that yellow bollard would be in the middle of the road.
The island needs extending a foot to the right maybe?

Up to relining the road was wide enough to take three vehicles so then all it needs is the white lines moving over.The bollard is off set and the road is wide enough at this point.

Perhaps the double yellow lines give the impression that the LH side is narrower... Bearing in mind I'm no mathmatician...

Quite right Veronica, the width of the left hand lane is from the kerbline to the white line. Nothing wrong with driving over the yellow lines. It looks OK to me.

Its an optical illusion.

Why is the third lane not marked',
