Dangerous new layout on A6003S approach to Barford Bridge roundabout
Sent to North Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8249939.
Further to my previous report on this, which was quite wordy, I have prepared a couple of diagrams to show what the problem is for the main traffic flow of A6003S to A43S, and how the solution is very simple, but very important.

All that's happened is a temporary New Road Layout sign has been placed before Barford Bridge. The sign before this still shows both lanes as being for Kettering A6003, which conflicts with the new lane layout. Every morning I'm seeing people in the original left lane - which they used to be able to use for Kettering - realising just before the roundabout or whilst they're on the roundabout - that they're now in the wrong lane. So many last minute lane changes caused by inconsistencies between signage and layout. The layout itself actually reduces road capacity for Kettering bound traffic compared to the previous layout. They honestly may as well have not bothered.
