12 epic road marking fails
THESE dozy workers got it horribly wrong when painting the roads...
1. When roadkill gets in the way - cat
Painted over... Workers refused to move this dead moggy that was in the way
2. Elaborate Zebra crossing (which doesn't actually count as a pedestrian crossing)
Jazzy... This crossing outside a primary school in Bristol is an accident waiting to happen, say locals
3. Painted pothole
Lazy... Council workers in Birmingham chose to paint a pothole, rather than repair it
4. When roadkill gets in the way - rat
Striped... This squashed rat was killed across both lanes, apparently
5. Bus Stop - with no buses
Odd... This bus stop looks great, except it was painted in an area in Darlington where no buses have been for years
6. When roadkill gets in the way - raccoon
Yellow belly... This deceased raccoon had some more stripes added by workmen
7. 40mph in a 30mph zone
Confusing ... These baffling markings were quickly changed by red-faced contractors in Essex
8. When branches get in the way
Wonky... This felled tree was too much hassle to move for these painters
9. Sus Stop
Spelling error... It's back to school for whoever wrote this
10. Keer Cleap
Embarrassing... Well, this message isn't clear
11. When poo gets in the way
Manure... Someone's messed up here
12. When unidentified roadkill gets in the way
Flat... It might be an animal, it might be a cardboard box. Either way, moving it was out of the question
