Poor road markings - who do I complain to?
The standard of road markings on A and B roads in my local area is appalling. Line painting used to be a regular occurrence but now, in some circumstances, I feel I'm not driving but guessing on the direction of the lanes. Who should I report this to?

The local authority (council) is responsible for the upkeep of local roads (and their markings). Major A roads and motorways are maintained by Traffic Scotland, Highways England or Traffic Wales.
I would suggest making a written complaint to the relevant authority, detailing the site of wear and the location of the worst affected area.
