Traffic Calming Priority Signs

Most learners (and qualified drivers) will know that the priority in traffic calmed areas is set by the arrows within these signs. However it appears that not everyone knows about this little tip - you can also tell the priority by the shape of the sign, which you can see from much further away. The blue rectangular sign will always be your right of way and the round one will always be a give way. This allows you to plan where and when you are going to give way earlier and make it easier.

More confusing road markings in Lichfield

Following on from an earlier post, this crossroad junction has confused many a learner. Imagine that you are the white car driving up London Road, towards the camera and want to turn right into Cricket Lane. If you follow the arrow on the road, you would enter the junction on the wrong side of the road - not recommended. Of courses if the road is clear (other turn-right box) you would drive further on and turn when you get to normal turn right position.

Here's a couple of road markings that are confusing even to the experienced driver. This is one of the roads used by the Lichfield Driving Test Centre examiners, so make sure that you understand precisely what they mean.

Travelling South on the A5 towards Tamworth you come across a relatively new roundabout complex, required because of the M6 Toll Road. Check out the road markings in the right lane of the two lane dual carriageway; they are contradictory. The first road mark (lower image) shows it is right-turn only; the second (upper image), shows ahead only but same road numbers.
