DRIVERS have accused a bungling council of "beautiful stupidity" after "pointless" double yellow strains appeared on a roundabout.
Drivers have been left baffled when the bizarre markings appeared in a single day in Hereford.
Footage present the double yellow lines circle the middle of the grass traffic island on Central Avenue.
Great-grandmother Jenni Gough, 76, who lives in close by Andrews Shut, says she was "surprised".
She stated: "When you think about the appalling state of the roads, it's astonishing to see cash wasted on something so pointless as this.
"Who on earth would assume that painting double yellow strains on a roundabout is a good suggestion?
"Even non-drivers would know that. Once I saw the strains, I was surprised."
Van driver John Dixon, 40, fumed: "This city is quick turning into a laughing inventory.
"Do the individuals in command of our roads really assume there are drivers parking their automobiles on roundabouts?
"It's madness and just one other example of an entire waste of money."
The strains have been painted in January but have now been removed after Herefordshire Council confirmed a contractor had made an "error".
A spokesperson added it was not "regular" apply to paint double yellow strains on roundabouts.
In a press release, the council stated: "An error by considered one of our contractors led to the strains being put in place.
"Placing double yellow strains on roundabouts is just not normal apply and once we realised that that they had been put in place we took steps to remove them as quickly as potential."
The council said that £106 million is being invested over the subsequent 10 years into local roads.
