Greatest number of destinations on route confirmation signs
Or whatever they're called these days.
There's 8 on the this sign on the A46 Lincoln bypass here, the most I think I've seen. But are there any with more?

Re: Greatest number of destinations on route confirmation signs
I can't find the thread but I think there was a previous discussion in which that sign was the winner.
Re: Greatest number of destinations on route confirmation signs
What about the ones on motorways just before a major motorway/motorway junction?
Re: Greatest number of destinations on route confirmation signs
I had wondered about the first sign West on the A590 after its TOTSO junction with the A591 but that only extends to 7 destinations.
Re: Greatest number of destinations on route confirmation signs
Though it's 9 with the co-mounted direction sign!

Re: Greatest number of destinations on route confirmation signs
The M90 has 6 destinations listed here - not a great number compared with the other examples in this topic though. Another 6 here. The A90 has 6 here, too, so I guess not that unusual after all.
This sign must be a contender for "most destinations on a single road" on an ADS though!

Re: Greatest number of destinations on route confirmation signs
I think I can beat your 5 with 6 just a couple of miles away:

I think the reason for the absurd number of destinations (many not even primary route destinations) was to tale traffic round the M90 when it was built rather than through Perth. I guess the sign information has never been updated.

Re: Greatest number of destinations on route confirmation signs
If you count these two signs as one (why they are on 2 signs is beyond me, although one contains ports and the other contains non-ports) then the M2 has 8...

Re: Greatest number of destinations on route confirmation signs
They're probably on two signs precisely because there's so many of them! Reduce the number of words on any one sign and you improve the chances of a driver finding and assimilating the information they need.Gareth Thomas wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 23:25 If you count these two signs as one (why they are on 2 signs is beyond me, although one contains ports and the other contains non-ports) then the M2 has 8...

Because "(M90)" was apparently too easy...

Re: Greatest number of destinations on route confirmation signs
This is exactly why the French have "TOUTES DIRECTIONS".

Re: Greatest number of destinations on route confirmation signs
I was at Redpoint in Ross-shire in the summer, and this sign at the start of the B8056 has been changed to a ginormous one, must be about 12 feet high. I didn't take a photo, unfortunately, but someone might be able to stop by if it's on their commute or something (!) to confirm just how many names are now on it.
Re: Greatest number of destinations on route confirmation signs
Has it been made bilingual perhaps?

I can't remember!
But I recall that it was a seriously mighty thing!

Re: Greatest number of destinations on route confirmation signs
There's a 7 here, at the northern end of the C79 around eastern Harris.
Re: Greatest number of destinations on route confirmation signs
More notable about the C79 is the fact that its number is signed, just like many other C roads in the Outer Hebrides.
E-roads, M-roads, A-roads, N-roads, B-roads, R-roads, C-roads, L-roads, U-roads, footpaths
Re: Greatest number of destinations on route confirmation signs
It may well be that my memory is imperfect, but I swear I've seen junctions in France with just a green "TOUTES DIRECTIONS" and a white "AUTRES DIRECTIONS" and no other signs.
