New road markings on Māhoe St are causing confusion in Te Awamutu, according to community board member Ange Holt.
The zigzag lines are a temporary measure to highlight the pedestrian side islands and crossing points.
They are not used elsewhere in the district.

At this month's Te Awamutu Community Board meeting Ange submitted a notice of motion recommending that council installs a sign to educate drivers on the meaning of the markings.
