[Image taken 13.4.21] Bootham, York. When there is queuing traffic towards Bootham Bar, some drivers heading for Marygate (perhaps the car park at the end) get impatient. They turn out of the queue and drive on the wrong side of the road in the direction of oncoming vehicles. The driver usually cuts the corner and so cannot see anything turning out of Marygate. I've seen some drivers drive from as far back as the park on the wrong side. I've seen drivers waiting to turn in to Marygate on the wrong side of the carriageway on the wrong side of the junction when a group of school children were crossing the mouth of Marygate. See also: #167117, #172112, #172113. Skip, at this location see: #167114.
