Motorists have been left puzzled by road markings showing different speed limits on opposite sides of the same street.

On the left-hand side of Ombersley Road in Worcester drivers are told not to exceed 50mph but they are ordered to keep to 30mph.
The stretch of road saw its speed limit reduced after a new housing estate was built but the confusion has been caused by only one side of the street being painted over.
Motorist Grace Taylor said: "It's completely stupid. On one side of the road, you can go at 50mph while leaving you have to stick to 30mph.
"The council need to make up their minds. The 50mph and 30mph road markings are even next to each other.
"Surely someone would have noticed when they were painted? An already very busy road has been made more confusing.
"My sat nav almost had a nervous breakdown when I drove to see my mum in one direction but had to slow right down on the way out."
