Line or no line?

There was an experiment, but it didn't work out.  The BEO thought it would be good to allow vehicles exit the car park up the eastern ramp, the"in" ramp, and new white line markings were painted.  After a few near misses and complaints the experiment was abandoned and some of the new lines were painted out, but one weird curved line remains.  You can see it in this photo but it's now partly covered in black masking tape.  How odd...


I've been told that the curved line is intended to make it clear to drivers approaching the junction heading east (so driving towards the camera taking the photo) that they should move to their right (left as we look at it here) so they are visible to drivers coming down the ramp (the ramp is to the immediate right of the camera).

I would have thought adding hatching to the area on the right in this picture would make things clearer for drivers than the weird partly covered curved line we have at the moment.
