B4308, which runs through the small hamlet of Cwmbach and connects the village of Trimsaran with Carmarthenshire’s biggest town, Llanelli.Despite having white lines down the middle of the road, there isn't actually room for two cars to pass each other on the deceiving street safely.READ MORE: Top 10 scenic roads to drive in the UK - Scotland's North Coast 500 takes top spotAt first appearing it seems to motorists like a typical B-road with ample space on either side, but it is actually too narrow to fit two cars at once, reported Wales Online.

According to the UK Government’s Department for Transport: “Where the carriageway is less than 5.5m in width, the centre line should be omitted but edged lines (the ones on the side of a road), where used, continued. "Where edge lines are not already in use, their introduction over the length where the centre line is interrupted will help draw attention to the hazard.”Parts of the B4308 are narrower than 5.5m, yet the road is still marked with white centre lines and edge lines, deceivingly creating the impression that two vehicles can safely pass each other.

The road is only 5.1m at it's narrowest point. Despite several crashes, including one serious collision in December, 2012, nothing has yet been done to fix the issue.

As a result a couple, Ed Mansel Lewis and his wife, have created a petition in attempt to make the road safer, which has garnered hundreds of signatures.
