Police have been asked to look at the issue of motorists illegally turning right onto very busy Barnard Avenue, Brigg, when leaving the Tesco store.
Coun Maureen Glossop, a member of Brigg Town Council, says figures have been passed to the police.
Now Insp Brett Rutty (pictured) is to consider the issue, raised at a meeting of the Brigg Police Authority Neighbourhood Panel, held in the town’s Angel Suite.
A ‘no right turn’ restriction was installed on road safety grounds, with motorists now being required to make a small detour and use the nearby roundabout at the top of Atherton Way.
But some drivers – in an effort to save time – ignore the restriction and turn right onto the A18.
All motorists who use Tesco - and that's hundreds of us in Brigg - should keep an eye out for the uncaring minority who can't be bothered to wait and who put themselves and other road-users at risk by deciding to turn right, rather than go left and make the short trip down to the roundabout. If you spot someone doing this, try to remember their number - and send our police the details at the end of your journey. The non-emergency number is 0845 6060222.
