Re: Botched Roadsigns
The ticket machine only sells in blocks of one hour. If you buy 2 hours at 4pm it shows expiry of 6pm.
But regarding the sign, a common restriction is during working hours only, for permit or public parking for payment, no controls outside. This one relies on absorbing that the extra bit at the bottom is more restrictive, no public parking at all out of hours.

Re: Botched Roadsigns
I had my suspicions of a spelling mistake when I went past this sign the other day and it clearly is wrong. The sign on the other side is correct.

I always like the "POLICE SLOW" signs - useful advice for the police but allows non-police drivers to continue as usual. Or maybe a comment about the speed of police investigations.

Re: Botched Roadsigns
It takes a special kind of genius to get it this wrong:

Patience is not a virtue - it's a concept invented by the dozy beggars who are unable to think quickly enough.
Re: Botched Roadsigns
A39 at Otterham Station (between Bude and Camelford). This sign has been repaired, very well. Only trouble is the right turn is signed to B3262 (A305). B3262 is correct, but A305 should be A395. Does anyone check stuff like this, does anyone care?

Re: Botched Roadsigns
Probably not, since the directions on the sign are only of benefit to traffic which has joined the A39 from the unclassified road half a mile south - any other traffic looking for Launceston would have turned at an earlier junction.drm567 wrote:does anyone care?
It's pretty pointless having a sign that size on that approach to the junction. "Hallworthy B3262" on a basic arrow direction sign would be sufficient.
Re: Botched Roadsigns
Can anyone beat 7 flag signs for a single road? (And not a particularly important road at that!)
Re: Botched Roadsigns
At least you'll find the seals now. That wasn't signed in 1996 when we went there

Re: Botched Roadsigns
This "FOODSTORE" flag sign is one I keep expecting to disappear as the rest of the (correct) roundabout signage and 40mph limit to the north are worn out. It keeps hanging in there though.

Re: Botched Roadsigns
I tried to snap that in Feb but missed it.
It's using the temporary junction arrows so yes, it is wrong.

Re: Botched Roadsigns
Similarly, a sign at the start of some roadworks saying "SLOW WORKFORCE IN ROAD" always made me chuckle.kit wrote:It could mean the speed limit only applies to childrenFosseWay wrote:This picture appeared on a friend's FB feed. Sound advice for an overpopulated world.

Re: Botched Roadsigns
See both signs. How many exits does the next roundabout have then?

Re: Botched Roadsigns
I'd like to nominate the Your Speed sign in Langham on the A606. Not only is it placed sufficiently close to a sharp bend that all but the most homicidal will have slowed down to well below the 30 limit, but it's been installed so that the units digit of the speed is displayed flipped left-to-right: I wondered what a speed of 2A meant until I worked out it was a backwards 4.
(While I'm thinking about these, is there a rule about whether doing exactly the speed limit is good or bad? I'm used to seeing 30 or 40 with the smiley face, but the one in Abington on the northbound A1307 frowns at 40 and only smiles at 39.)

Re: Botched Roadsigns
I saw this yesterday, coming off the A720 at the Baberton junction. Any reason to have a "two-way traffic ahead on crossing ahead" sign on all THREE of the flag signs (plus an advanced warning sign 70 yards from the end of the sliproad)?
