Red stripe on rural lane sparks social media storm

Residents of a Jersey parish have described a red stripe painted on a country lane as an "eyesore" and completely out of place.

The stripe is part of a road safety initiative to separate pedestrians from vehicles on two roads - La Croix and La Rue de la Haye des Puits near Grouville School - but many residents have said it clashes with the area's natural beauty.

"It's a monstrosity," said Gerald Fletcher, one of several local residents who have written to the parish constable to complain.

"This is a beautiful lane used by walkers and dog walkers. Why spoil it with such a harsh, urban-looking stripe":[]}
