At least I think it did. Certainly would have had a good sweep up. Now, Robin wrote on social, quote, the whole junction needs to be redesigned, but included in the scope, the junction with Gatton Bottom Road and Ray Lane. That is so difficult. And, you know, the number of times you and I have realised

Gone in both directions, both coming up Reigate Hill, past the top of Ray Lane and going down as well. Coming out of that National Trust car park at the top there at Reigate Hill. Perhaps you're going left, perhaps you're turning around. Some people turn around and they shoot down to Gatton Bottom, turn around almost immediately, come back up. That is so difficult.

People trying to cut across those two lanes of traffic as people are coming off the roundabout and so on. You can't see very much over to the left-hand side people coming up the hill. Possibly they've got a bit of a welly on them to move them up around the corner under the bridge and so on. And also on the roundabout itself. Robin goes on, considering it's three lanes...

This does need to be widened, even if just to allow vehicles to fit in their designated lanes, particularly commercial vehicles, buses and coaches. I would also say that due to the congestion into Reigate, that consideration be given to a longer period.

exit slip road on the anti-clockwise carriageway of the m25 the anti-clockwise right okay so you're coming uh from the guildford direction yeah that's not a very long slip road is it it's short it's quite steep as well going up there so maybe if it was longer and wider i'm more cars would fit on there, so then you'd have fewer cars actually on the roundabout itself.

And certainly, as I sometimes do, coming to town from the Banstead direction, yeah, those lanes are quite... quite tight, aren't they? They're quite narrow.

Then Robin continues, the only issue with also potentially installing an M25 junction 928 to A217 northbound slip will be how to accommodate this with Marjory Lane, but allowing traffic making this left turn to use a filter lane, which could help, as I say, yeah, with the tailpacks, absolutely. Jocelyn wrote, I hope when they resurface, they'll take the opportunity to install two lanes.

The present three, this is what we're just talking about, but she's saying don't widen them, just reduce them. The present three are too narrow for many people. I'm tired of people who can't or won't keep their vehicle within one lane. And the southbound stretch of the roundabout is ambiguous as well.

Too many times I've been in the lane to turn right onto the M25 and had to take evasive action as cars in the middle lane also turn right, although the lane markings are... in my humble opinion, quite clear.

It's ambiguous, it's not very well marked, the lanes are too narrow, and you don't quite know where you're going, and if you're going from south to north, so you're going up Rygate Hill, you're joining the M25 roundabout, you're not turning left onto the M25 to go in Guildford direction, but perhaps you're going back down the road to to Banstead.
