- Maintenance shortfalls have left vital road markings to wear away, and the Royal Automobile Club urged local councils to rectify fading lines to keep road users safe.
- Warning from Sam Sheehan highlighted that `Not everyone realises that zigzag lines mean no stopping whatsoever , which can lead to people getting caught out,` and he emphasized caution around yellow boxes.
