This is the route into the town centre recommended by various satellite navigation systems. Note the sign saying that it is unsuitable for through traffic, and that the lane is only just wide enough for a car, and much too narrow for a large van or lorry. If that weren't bad enough, the routes require a *left* turn into it through an angle of about 150º! The AA online Travel Planner also featured this convoluted route but I am pleased to report that after it had been drawn to their attention it has been corrected.
