Nissan A19 signage
Anyone know the story here? ISTR Nissan always being signed by name but perhaps there’s a new rule about keeping it generic?

Not to mention tourist destinations like "Legoland", "Alton Towers", and often business parks get signed with their own name.
So I don't think there's a rule against it.

Toyota Island
Roads.org.uk
From the SABRE Wiki: Toyota Island :
The Toyota Island is the interchange between the A38 and A50, also home to Derby with Burton Services. It is junction 4 of the A50.
As the name suggests it also gives access to the Toyota factory. A curious feature is that the bridges over and under the A38 appear to be designed to allow the addition of a third lane southbound but not northbound. There is a historical explanation for why this should be true of the northernmost bridge but not the others.

Well go back far enough and it was Datsun and I seem to recall the Datsun brand was relaunched about 10 years ago. I believe they used that name in India and Russia.ph8034 wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 17:07 I noticed while driving north on the A19, approaching Testo’s, there’s a sign where Nissan is described as “Car Plant” but then other signs later on still say “Nissan”. In the latter cases “Nissan” appears to be a temporary sticker.

Depends on your definition of 'recently' but it's been officially known as Briggate Lodge roundabout since at least 2008? I've never known it signed as anything else, although I freely admit everyone calls it Forest Pinesdelinquentwoody wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 21:23 Strangely enough, 'Forest Pines Roundabout' next to M180 J4 (named after the adjacent Forest Pines Hotel) has recently had overstickers placed over the roundabout names on the signs renaming it 'Briggate Lodge Roundabout', which I understand was a former name of the hotel from many years ago. Many locals have always referred to the roundabout by both names, but seems strange to remove the current hotel name for a former hotel name.

There are certainly cases of signs on motorways being changed to reflect changes in the name of football stadiums when the sponsorship changes.
