approach the Tesco roundabout from the West. While the sign has all the right road numbers and places on it, the road numbers have been asigned to the wrong towns. If you follow the towns you be ok, but if you follow the road numbers you get in a right mess.
The sign has Aylesbury A355 instead of the A413, Beaconsfield as the A413 instead of the A355, Watford as the A416 instead of the A404 and Berkhampstead as the A404 instead of the A416.
It does make you wonderwho checks the design before the signs are made

however, that's correct, just unclear, as way to Watford is the same as the way to Berko, ditto Aylesbury and Beaconsfield. It should be:
straight on: Watford, Berkhampstead (A404, A416)
right:Beaconsfield, Aylesbury A355 (A413)
i'll go out tomorrow and get lots of photos of the signage for that roundabout as it includes some odd things.

Few I saw today.
A6011 near Trent Bridge cricket ground, and the hallowed turf of City Ground, still signed A52 as is half of West Bridgford despite it being A6011 for years. Didn't have my cam but Col may have a snap - it's near the one in his avatar.
A52 between Radcliffe on Trent and the A46 island (Saxondale) is signed
Grantham A52
Newark A46
both without brackets and it's not a multiplex.

Here, heading down Spitfire Way towards the A260/A20 roundabout, is a "wrong" sign.
It is as follows:
Straight ahead:
Dover
A20
Left turn:
Canterbury
A260
Right turn:
(M20)
Channel Tunnel
Folkestone
A20
The left and straight on roads are correct, however the right turn should say:
(M20)
Channel Tunnel (A20)
Folkestone A260
