Re: "Welsh first" bilingual signs in South Wales
Many do. But since almost all the parties have "Welsh first" policy for road signs, they don't get a lot of choice in the matter. Only a single subject vote would make a difference, and it doesn't seem to be on offer.RichardA35 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 10:28I agree and I also feel that I, as an Englishman living outside Wales, have to respect the choices of the democratically elected government in the country for how they wish to safeguard the language.

Re: "Welsh first" bilingual signs in South Wales
How do places like Switzerland cope where the languages on sign change dependent on which canton you're in, and they're not bilingual. You can drive into a tunnel in French and emerge in German.
Must be hell on earth.
Or maybe they just deal with it like adults and stop moaning about trivial things driven by English exceptionalism.

Re: "Welsh first" bilingual signs in South Wales
I have been an advocate for adopting colour differential on Welsh signs for years but with the language parity act anything that lets either language look more important is a problem. This is why the annoying chop and change of which went first used to happen - it was quite a battle to get Welsh first agreed, but I'd simply point out the country is Wales so the native language - Welsh - should be first. English was an imposition, even if everyone speaks it, so there's an obvious cultural reason for Welsh first.c2R wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 13:13I don't think it matters,a s long as it is standardised.

With town names - long term you just drop the name you don't want. Nobody says Maryborough now do they?
People don't lose their minds because we no longer call the town I'm in "Bolton-le-Moors" or "Great Bolton" any more.

Re: "Welsh first" bilingual signs in South Wales
Absolutely, but there's an obvious balance between designing signs taking into account culture, nagivation, safety, and aesthetics. I don't like the difference in font size used in Ireland in these cases as it implies that somewhere with a translation is less important when viewed at a glance as the driver's attention is directed to the largest wording. Similarly, it wouldn't make sense to duplicate the same wording if there was no translation - it's all stuff that needs to be thought about.Bryn666 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 13:19I have been an advocate for adopting colour differential on Welsh signs for years but with the language parity act anything that lets either language look more important is a problem.

I have never liked the Irish italics, I know it's more in line with Gaelic but it's hard to read, ugly, and has the issues you raise. The 1979-89 Irish sign system was, for my 2p, much better.

Re: "Welsh first" bilingual signs in South Wales
Yes, I agree that the Italics don't look wonderful. But the current system is a massive improvement on the older design with each lane signed separately - this sort of thing was massively horribleBryn666 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 13:29 Oh yes, there's a heck of a lot I don't like about Welsh signs policy but the fact they're bilingual in the first place isn't one of them.

Re: "Welsh first" bilingual signs in South Wales
A random thought. Could it be easier if all the Welsh is together on the sign, and then all the English underneath it?
So whereas you might have at the moment:
Cardiff
Caerdydd
Bridgend
Pen-y-bont
Swansea
Abertawe
M4
It could be replaced with
Caerdydd
Pen-y-bont
Abertawe
Cardiff
Bridgend
Swansea
M4
It could save on spacing as well?

Re: "Welsh first" bilingual signs in South Wales
Again, I suppose it's a design choice - you could have one full Welsh RCS sign followed by one full English one - as long as consistency is applied throughout a country I don't think it matters from a usability perspective.

Re: "Welsh first" bilingual signs in South Wales
There used to be "English priority" and "Welsh priority", determined locally. Is there any record of people getting lost because of this?

Re: "Welsh first" bilingual signs in South Wales
That's fine when you're looking at a timetable in a ticketing hall, or a doctor's waiting room, but less useful when trying to navigate lane changes on a complex intersection, or dealing with written warning signs about upcoming hazards - location of the information on the signs being clear and consistent is more important - moving stuff about dependent on where you are in the country is less useful, particularly where the information being presented is the same size, colour, and font.Chris Bertram wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 14:43There used to be "English priority" and "Welsh priority", determined locally.

Re: "Welsh first" bilingual signs in South Wales
However in Switzerland the destinations are in the language of the canton the town sits in, rather than the annoying Belgian system where they are in the language of the location of the sign. You do not have to remember that Genf is the German for Geneva, where as you need to know that Bergen is the Flemish for Mons.Bryn666 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 12:56 How do places like Switzerland cope where the languages on sign change dependent on which canton you're in, and they're not bilingual.

Re: "Welsh first" bilingual signs in South Wales
Given that Gwent and Mid Glamorgan used the local option to try and avoid putting Welsh on the signs, that can be considered moaning about it from non nationalists. It was during the time of the local option that you also had the most complaints about the bilingual signs being confusing, often again by those who just wanted Welsh to go away.Chris Bertram wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 14:43There used to be "English priority" and "Welsh priority", determined locally.

Re: "Welsh first" bilingual signs in South Wales
It would be interesting to see experimental evidence on this. My gut feeling is that I would personally find it harder, but this may well not be universal. The way I read signs (I think, at least) is that I treat the pair of names for a placename as a single unit, so once I'm in Wales I'm no longer following signs to "Cardiff" but to "Caerdydd Cardiff", so in your example I'm picking out one long name from a sign with three on it, rather than trying to pick out "Cardiff" from a sign with six names on it. In fact personally I prefer having the two names with identical typography, as my brain won't play this trick otherwise, and it finds the Scottish ones much less intuitive.Gareth Thomas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 13:54 A random thought.

Both languages will, and should, continue, to appear on the signs. But the confusion involved in changing priorities was greatly exaggerated - and changes didn't happen frequently, it's not like it was every third lamppost. Still, we are where we are and it's up to the Welsh to sort it out for themselves.

Re: "Welsh first" bilingual signs in South Wales
If my in-laws are representative, the feeling of Welsh people in such areas ranges from "that's nice to have as a reflection of our heritage" to "a bit of a waste of money if you ask me" but feelings aren't strong enough on either side for it to be an issue they'd bother complaining to anyone about. (It only came up as a topic of conversation at my brother's wedding as the bilingual signs in the area had started going up shortly beforehand.)Chris Bertram wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 16:41 ]These complainants, were they all English?

I understand what they didn't want. But who were they, these refuseniks? English incomers, or native Welsh people.
