No road marking from under the bridge to B4009 rd

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8662162.
There is no white dividing line on the road. Cars tend to drift into the centre of road specifically as they go under the bridge. Every day I drive this road home and I am always nervous because most people think their car is wider than it actually is and I have to squeeze to the side of the road. I am worried that one day there will be a head on collision. It would be very helpfull if there was a white line to help keep vehicles in their lane.

This has been passed to the Highway Officer to investigate, they will carry out an inspection within the next 10 working days.
All our roads are subject to safety inspections, and this includes identifying any markings that are badly damaged or degraded so we may already be aware of this issue and have raised a job to have them refreshed if this is the case we will update you that it is a duplicate job/enquiry.
If we were not aware of this issue, we will update you on what action will be taken, this may include adding the road markings to a package of works to be carried out at a later date.
Please note, the ambient temperature drops, and the air becomes much more humid during the winter months and materials won’t bond with the surface when it’s wet, defeating the purpose of applying them at all. Adding markings to a wet surface will essentially mean they become diluted. The moisture present on the road and also in the air will affect the finished quality of the markings, impacting their appearance and longevity, for this reason we only refresh road markings during winter months if there is a specific safety issue.
There may also be occasions when the issue reported will not be repaired as it has been classified as a minor defect and does not pose any risk to either the safety or the integrity of the highway, these are called minimum recording levels as specified in our Highways Safety Inspection Policy in these cases no action will be taken.
