Suggestion Name: Clarification of Signage at Parking Exit
Suggestion Description:
The current signage at the parking exit causes confusion for drivers. The "ALL ROUTES" marking on the road suggests that vehicles are merging onto the main road without restriction. However, the "Give Way" sign indicates the need to yield to other vehicles on the main road.
Additionally, this exit appears to lead from a parking area, which generally requires vehicles to give priority to traffic already on the main road. This conflicting signage contributed to a collision in which I was involved.
To resolve this:
-The "ALL ROUTES" marking should be revised or removed to clarify that vehicles exiting the parking area must yield.
-Clearer signage should be added at the parking exit to align with the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (Article 10), which requires road signs and markings to provide unambiguous instructions.

Why should it be added?:
The conflicting signage creates a high risk of accidents by providing ambiguous instructions to drivers. Updating the signs would:
-Ensure drivers exiting the parking area understand their obligation to yield to traffic on the main road.
-Prevent future incidents caused by misinterpretation.
-Align the signage with international road safety standards.
I would also like to add that this area could benefit from a structural redesign. Currently, many drivers from the right lane switch to the left lane, causing confusion and potential collisions. To address this issue, I suggest implementing physical measures, such as barriers, curbs, or additional signage, to prevent drivers in the right lane from switching to the left lane. This change would significantly improve safety and traffic flow in this location.
