It was there in 2009 too: http://g.co/maps/66t6g

Notice also the distinct lack of yellow lines... They are there, but they're extremely faint.

Those swirls on the sign face are not JPEG artefacts, but rather the pattern of the reflective backing playing tricks with the downscaling of the photos.

Why is it not attached to the lamp-post, saving on a piece of street clutter.

Which can be mitigated by downsampling by 25% 50% or 75% first then again until the desired size is reached.

Sometimes the lighting teams don't like signs being put on street columns.

The rule I generally work to and was advised by a lighting engineer was anything up to 1metre square should be ok on a lamp column so repeater and terminal signs by default I look for the nearest column.

You get streetlights however that are controlled by other external consultants and to put stuff on them (anything including chaining survey cameras to them) you have to get written permission. Nonsense but I've heard of it.

Doesn't happen in Calderdale, we always aim for LCs when erecting small signs.

Whoever signed a contract imposing such an onerous condition has really been promoted far above their abilities IMO.
