Hopes are growing that something can be done, on road safety grounds, to stop drivers turning right onto the busy A18, Barnard Avenue, when leaving Tesco's Brigg store.
Coun John Berry (pictured), one of the Brigg area's North Lincolnshire Council representatives, arranged a meeting involving himself, Tesco and Pete Scott, head of safer roads for this area.
Coun Berry said those talks had shown a willingness on Tesco's part, and he had now asked Mr Scott to look at "engineering solutions" to the problem.
Coun Berry added that publicity following his original offer to progress the issue had resulted in a number of phone calls from members of the public who had seen motorists ignore the 'no right turn' instructions when exiting Tesco.
"I am optimistic a solution can be found," he added.
Motorists leaving the slip road to rejoin Barnard Avenue should turn left and use the nearby roundabout if they wish to head off towards the Monument. This greatly improves the flow of traffic and reduces the possibility of accidents caused by vehicles attempting to turn right across a lane of oncoming traffic. Brigg police have asked members of the public to report incidents of driving failing to comply with the traffic signs at this spot.
