HIGHWAYS England has confirmed it will be installing permanent signs at an altered junction on the A329M.
Over last weekend, the road layout at the junction with the M4 was changed, meaning to left hand lane filtered off to the M4, leaving the right hand lane only continuing along the A329M.
Angry motorists have complained to Wokingham Borough Council, who own the stretch of road, and Highways England, who carried out the works, that the small temporary yellow signs are not good enough, and do not give drivers enough warning of the changed layout, causing many to change lanes at the last minute, often into the path of other drivers.
This afternoon (Wednesday) Ed French from Highways England confirmed in a statement that the agency would be installing permanent signs within the next two weeks.
Mr French said: “‘We are aware of the problems road users have been experiencing in this area and apologise for any inconvenience they may have encountered.
“We will be installing permanent signs over the coming two weeks. In the meantime we have arranged with our contractors for the current signs to be moved to give drivers better advance warning of the new road layout and have also instructed the contractors to install further temporary signs over the next few days.”
