Re: Botched Roadsigns
End of the A361 at Kilsby. Ignoring the abolition of blue borders sometime in the previous millennium, this sign isn't giving local directions so shouldn't have one should it?
Re: Botched Roadsigns
Not 'botched' perhaps, but we're seeing a lot of road signs/markings being subjected to graffiti, specifically they are being modified as part of the 'extinction rebellion' protests. Many of the painted-on the road markings are being modified with the letters XR being added in different ways.
I first noticed this some weeks ago, today a friend made the link after seeing a newspaper article.

I knew that Apple were employing people to promote the iPhone XR
Though roads may not put a smile on everyone's face, there is one road that always will: the road to home.

No, you’re right, that should never have had blue borders.the cheesecake man wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 13:21 End of the A361 at Kilsby. Ignoring the abolition of blue borders sometime in the previous millennium, this sign isn't giving local directions so shouldn't have one should it?

There is a sign for the A619 and A6 at West Bars roundabout in Chesterfield which has white text for A619 and (A6) instead of yellow.

Re: Botched Roadsigns
I'm fairly sure the embarrassingly narrow cycle path here is signed incorrectly.

Re: Botched Roadsigns
The cycleway is so narrow all the cyclists turn back.

Re: Botched Roadsigns
This one is also after the junction for Sangwin Road, which looks to have been shoehorned onto the sign after it was erected.

Re: Botched Roadsigns
Has that been put in because a lot of motorists turned left in front of the sign, do you think?Chris Bertram wrote: ↑Thu Oct 17, 2019 13:19This one is also after the junction for Sangwin Road, which looks to have been shoehorned onto the sign after it was erected.

Re: Botched Roadsigns
Not botched, just old and now incorrect.....the A60 is no longer primary here.

Imported from France? But it should then have a "Vous n'avez pas la priorité" plate underneath.

Re: Botched Roadsigns
Not sure any of it ever was south of Trent Bridge (where it would've previously multiplexed with the A52 over the river, now the A6520 and A6011). In fact, the actual diverge is at Cattle Market Road now, where the A6011 turns off. From there to Loughborough, despite it being the obvious way between two primary destinations, it isn't...danfw194 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 19, 2019 17:45 Not botched, just old and now incorrect.....the A60 is no longer primary here.
C, E flat and G go into a bar. The barman says "sorry, we don't serve minors". So E flat walks off, leaving C and G to share an open fifth between them.

Re: Botched Roadsigns
Was thinking maybe it's a Gibraltarian sign, but the only roundabout sign I could find in Gibraltar is this one https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@36.14666 ... 312!8i6656 , of which they have taken the Australian inspiration of using a giveway triangle instead.

Re: Botched Roadsigns
From the Vale Council Highways department, who have had a really terrible few months, comes another gem in my village to remind us every day (in very small text) how hopeless they are...
