Feel free to follow down the road in search of the roundabout this sign is warning you of...

It's here. Not botched, just outdated. The roundabout, on the other hand...

Brent? Shooters Hill is Royal Borough of Greenwich. Different town hall; same incompetence!!

So now we have an advance warning sign for a roundabout no longer extant, followed by a roundabout still present with no advance warning sign.

Does a simple solution perhaps present itself here?

The simplest solution - from a certain viewpoint - is ALWAYS do nothing.

I know, another TTM sign, but this one and its twin were too good (bad) not to share...

D’oh! I was thinking of Shoot Up Hill on the A5. That’ll teach me to open my big mouth!

A new customary sign appeared at M56 Jct 10 / A49. which probably deserves it's place in this thread.

Something not quite right here, and not just because the A143 is primary

Reminds me of one of Jimmy Carr's Little Quiz of the Lockdown questions:

Which Norfolk town, as you approach it, disappears?

Doesn't work so well written down!

Has the Qashqai hit the moped that's now parked on the pavement?

It looks like the scooter is chained to the railings and the car is merely turning around.

Standard Quayside/River Bank Warning Sign in front of an odd variant at Bowness-on-Windermere.

Judging by the location I am guessing these are preliminary works for the remodelling of the A629 Salterhebble junction, so I am claiming this as a 'roadsign'.

I imagine the thing that was "prohibative" about it was the effort required to involve someone who knew the correct word to use. Or at least, how to spell the incorrect word.

Standard Quayside/River Bank Warning Sign in front of an odd variant at Bowness-on-Windermere.

it kind of makes sense and makes me wonder if an official "slipway" warning sign should be a thing?

To make the sign symbolic, so it's language neutral, it would have to be unmistakable. Even if it was, there would need to be a worded "education" plate explaining what the hazard was. So "Slipway" much as "Queue likely", which is still commonly seen below a Diagram 684, despite it having been around for many years now and the presence of the queue often being blindingly obvious. Are there many cars that run off the end of slipways each year to even justify such a discrete sign?

It doesn't have to be many, it just has to be "enough". Hard to quantify, but if people are talking about it casually, you're getting there.

Are there supposed to be two no entry signs here?

There doesn't need to be, since no entry signs in those situations are not required, they are just there to reinforce the keep left sign.
