The study of British and Irish roads - their construction, numbering, history, mapping, past and future official roads proposals and general roads musings.
There is a separate forum for Street Furniture (traffic lights, street lights, road signs etc).
Registered users get access to other forums including discussions about other forms of transport, driving, fantasy roads and wishlists, and roads quizzes.
A few weeks ago, when we were still allowed to travel, I saw this sign on the M6 (I think it might have been around J34, but it does all merge into one a bit):-
"P.O.P. closed ahead"
My best guess is it refers to the "mounds" that HE and Police cars sit on and perhaps POP stands for Patrol Officer Platform? but that is just a pure guess and the result of 2 hours of pondering on the journey home.....
Anyone know the real answer? I would like to know if I am anywhere close!
