Correct Lane

[messedupmojo]

Hi

Fairly trivial question - but im doubting my own answer

Large Box juncton with traffic lights - opposite me is a retail park with one lane entry

We are crossing a busy road with 2 lanes if turning left and 3 if turning right

At my lights there are two lanes from an industrial estate a single lane has become two lanes (about 50yards in front of lights) - however my junction does not have any markings, signs, arrows or a filter lane or markings to indicate the r/h lane is for turning right only - just two unmarked lanes

from left lane i can turn left or go straight across - from right lane i can go across(?) or turn right

Which is the correct lane to go straight across?

Is this a legal or is it guidance only and both lanes can be used and are actually pot luck / 50/50 in event of a collision

many thanks for thoughts

Post up a Google Streetview link...

its tricky as the street view car has taken footage from wrong side of road - from where Citroen is at lights in correct direction - going straight across to staples - left hand or right hand?

or if it makes more sense - from Broomhill way - going straight across to the retail park opposite - should you take l/h or r/h lane of either

If there are no markings to the contrary, I would suggest that both lanes can be used to go straight across and you're going to be 50/50.

so i was dreaming up left hand lane to go left or straight on and right hand lane turn right only... oops

I would have assumed the same, rightly or wrongly, if there are no road markings or signage to say otherwise.
