Unclear signage on Ivy Cross roundabout, 17th April
The Ivy Cross roundabout in Shaftesbury has 5 exits. All entries onto the roundabout have 2 lanes. There are no signs or instructions on the road advising drivers which lane they should approach the roundabout in if they wish to take the third exit.
This is particularly frustrating when approaching the roundabout on the A30 from Yeovil and continuing onto the A30 towards Salisbury (the third exit).
Everyone has an opinion about whether to approach in the left or right lane and this leads to lots of near misses and road rage when 2 vehicles arrive at the roundabout using the two lanes and then both want to exit towards Salisbury on the A30.
There are numerous arguments on local social media sites about this.
Can we please have clear signs and road markings on this roundabout to settle the arguments once and for all?
Thank you.

Drain needs clearing (again), 20th November
There is water pouring out of a drain on the B3091.
As can be seen from the photos, there is a lot of water over the road, and in a cold snap, that could mean a sheet of ice on this downhill section where cars go too fast.
This problem was reported via Fix My Street a while back and was promptly fixed, so lets hope it can be again.
