Road lines question
At the bottom of Park Street in Bristol there is a side road called St George's Road.
Traffic coming out of it onto Park Street has a solid 'stop' white line, not just a dashed 'give-way' line.
My question is about the side where traffic coming from College Green turns left into it: there is *no line* across the lane.
I checked, and it is definitely a junction between a main road and a side road.
Yet many motorists that I've encountered there seem to be of the opinion that it means that if they're turning in there then they don't have to slow down, let alone cede priority (for example, when a Brooksby is pedestrianising across the road and is right in front of them...).
Am I misunderstanding something?

I agree with essexian - can't think of any reason beyond the council/contractors forgot when they resurfaced the road at some point between 2014 and 2016.
I think this is largely the case at side roads in general, regardless of the road markings (or lack thereof)...
That's strange. It really should have a dashed line like it did until 2014 according to Google Maps.
I think the Council just forgot to paint the line when they redid them....perhaps?
Maybe I ought to report it as a road flaw?
(It'll get much worse when they do the Park Street changes and that road will become the only access into Park Street from the rest of the city…).
