Well, it's a missed opportunity for a cycle lane or parking (depending what there's more of on that road). You couldn't legally pass a bike, milk float, mobility scooter, broken down car ... . At least a bus lane pretends to be useful That said, I think bus lanes that narrow wear out extremely quickly because all the wear is in one place?
I get your point - there's a bottleneck coming up anyway, so why bother having another lane in the first place if it doesn't improve traffic flow. That said, it probably does by letting people past dawdlers.
I took that to mean you'll get 10' through the centre, wouldn't fancy trying it out mind you. Legit way of signing or just a cock up? All the other signs on the approach say 9'6".

I'd say cock up as the direction sign has a roundel but the bridge has triangles.

loose: (a): free or released from fastening or attachment - a loose end.
As vile as these are, the replacements, (no photos, sorry ), are even worse - no patches and the signs are split in the most bizarre fashion! Saw them on my way home on Thursday.
And A6 is in both lanes 1 and 3, without distinguishing which way. Yes, it has the names of towns on it, but if you're just thinking "North" or "South", that means nothing.

That sign is, as you say, patchless
The A6 is signed as (A6)
The A453 signed as A452
At least the signs and lanes match up, unlike some other projects.
As much as those signs are awful, the bracketing is correct - the A6 meets the junction directly from the south east, but towards Derby follows the A50 for a couple of miles, and therefore is (A6).

On the A453 from the airport, the lane for the A6 towards Loughborough is marked as (A6). I hadn't noticed, but now you mention it, I wouldn't be surprised if Derby was marked just as A6!

Where is the sign for A452? Am I not really awake enough to be driving in a couple of minutes?
Not seen it myself, but I'm positive someone on here mentioned it recently.

The surface over the crossing has been replaced and the stop lines have been reinstated with give-way markings in their place. Why would someone (Network Rail or their contractors?) think it is a good idea to have give way markings at a crossing with wig-wag signals and barriers?
The road markings were correct previously, when the barriers were installed in late 2013.
I spotted a botch on a mad tour of south and east London this morning during an effort to catch the wife's brother at various locations along the London Marathon route...
Unfortunately every available view on Streetview has pixellated the bottom sign (possibly to spare the designer's blushes) - it warns of the width restrictions in Kidbrooke, however the width shown on this sign is "7.5T"
