Subtle yellow chosen for street markings after anger at louder yellow

Meanwhile, in Austerity Island:

Dean Myhill, area highways manager at Lincolnshire County Council apologised for the error and said the cost of repainting the thinner lines had not yet been calculated.He added: "In a conservation area such as Upgate in Louth, we use a more subtle colour for our yellow lines and paint them about half as wide.

"This is to make sure our road markings help to protect the town's unique character. In this case, we have made a mistake and painted our standard yellow lines. We apologise for this error and will look to paint the correct lines."
