‘Just found this on u tube, here’s a little bit of trivia; as you go under the A30 the foot path on your left leading up was the route of the old road joining the A30 at a T junction. Until improvements in the late sixties this was one of the most congested points on britains road system. Back then me and my bike went everywhere, today I wouldn’t even try I’ll just stick to my HGV.
It is a directional arrow and it means you need to get back onto your side of the road (in case you are not; ie. you are overtaking) ... because there is a point of no overtaking (solid double white line) ahead or hatched area or an island or dedicated lane for cars turning left/right or any other situation which would put you into danger if you didn't. Sometimes it is also used to indicate the route high vehicles should take under a low arch bridge.
Two of the greatest countries in the world (US & UK); why did the US decide to drive on the right. Have been to your country, including this area towards Reading, but answer me this question if you would? What are those white arrows on the road surface that point towards the left? At 4.22; the white arrow is partly on the right side with the point on the left side. What's up with that? What is it telling the driver to do? BTW came across your site recently and enjoy the drive.
I find this part of the drive very relaxing

Amazing landscapes.

you started from the racecourse?
Started around the Royal Ascot Golf Club, which is opposite Winkfield Road - the back road across the racecourse.
OK then.... thanks for answering!
