Incorrectly signed road...

[Gav]

So what roads out there are incorrectly signed ?

signs displaying a number that does not relate to the road. Newbridge has an M9 RCS on the entrance to the M8

The roundabouts on the Hill of Banchory road incorrectly refer to it as the A980, with signs for "Alford A980" in one direction and "Aberdeen A980 (A93)" in the other. However, the A980 runs along Raemoir Road to meet the A93. Perhaps there was a plan within Aberdeenshire Council to re-route the A980 via Hill of Banchory (and there is still I believe a plan to build a further "Banchory bypass" linking the Hill of Banchory East road to Raemoir Road), but as far as I can tell the A980 still runs down Raemoir Road.

The signs maybe just need some brackets adding in the mean time!

This one it a bit debatable https://www.instantstreetview.com/@55.0 ... .71p,3.17z

And of course the (in)famous references to "M6" at the A74(M) southbound weigh station, and on various local roads in the area.

Some parentheses needed? https://goo.gl/maps/c8EKeQraPyp

(Notice also the crude patching on the "Porthor" sign. It originally read "Porth Oer".)

This is my favourite misleading chopsticks sign. It's understandable given the history, except that if you can replace the main sign you could replace the chopsticks too.

There are also a number of signs that call it the 'M74'.

One of these days I'm going to take a felt-tip pen and correct this one.

Oops...

(It was actually designed correctly by the contractor; I know that for a fact...)

I can particularly remember two signs; one on the southbound A701 approaching Junction 15 at Beattock which featured "The South, Carlisle M6" and the other is as you exit the Gretna Gateway Shopping Outlet where Glasgow and Edinburgh are signed (M6).

This sign suggests that you are turning onto the A702.

You're not. You're executing a TOTSO on the A72, which leads to the A702.

How about this in Perth, Scotland. Im sure its been discussed elsewhere too.

I'd assume there are plenty of signs that were correct when they were put up but aren't any more as the road has been renumbered. This is another example (I haven't been there recently to see if it's still there).

What you want is a sign like this, where the road to the left has never been the A522.

[Goldberg]

In Sunderland, the A1018 is signed as a Secondary road (with white signs) although it is a Primary road (with green signs)

[Jamesabout29]

A couple I can think of in Basildon, both at the same junction between the A132 and A1235.
On one sign, the A1235 is signed as the A1325, and another sign has the much less forgivable error of the A132 being signed as the A232!!

[Beardy5632]

Most of the A4301 in Gloucester still has signs referring to it as the A430.

The only bit of the sign that is incorrect, AFAICS, is the reference to M85. The road out of Perth towards Dundee is, AFAIK, still the A85 as far as the junction with the A90/M90.

Approaching the A74(M) on the A75, at least one sign still calls it the A74, 20+ years after the upgrade to motorway.

At the roundabout at M621 junction 2, the southbound A643 is marked as the A645, which doesn't even enter the district of Leeds.

This nonsense on the Limehouse Link in London.

a) It's not normal to put one way repeaters on an off ramp.
b) The parking sign is irrelevant, there is no parking provision.

Then 200 yards further on there is another combination, this time with the arrow pointing left

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.50754 ... 312!8i6656

Thereafter there is no further trace of any parking provision.

What about the green RCS in Pickering towards Whitby? Isn't the A169 non-primary?
