Botched Roadsigns

[nowster]

Not botched, but mildly amusing. https://goo.gl/maps/mFvjZrdVjdP4WE2UA

This is advising the road bends to the right and there there is a junction, don't think this info should be displayed like this though!

I went past this today.
Only, it wasn't that.

It was a keep right today.

I decided to be a rebel and passed the keep right on the left hand side.

The Wonky arrow sign thread reminded me of this effort...

Here is Warwickshire's entry for the smallest font on a sign competition.

I suspect that postscript is unofficial.

Western end of the M67 at Denton. M60 North is on a blue background so is a motorway. Ring Road North is on a green background so presumably isn't a motorway. But they're the same road?!

I find it more jarring that it signposts “Ring Road (N)” but not “Ring Road (S)”.

They’ve also put “(N)” in yellow, which is wrong, unless (N) is now a route number.

And as Manchester Airport is reached via the M60 South perhaps that should be on the blue bit rather than green?

Took me a minute but I assume the fingerboard sign has been flipped around the wrong way. Otherwise that's quite a dead-end road!

This sign is a little small to be that high up: Streetview

Clue - Its mounted on the street light column behind and above the electronic sign

There isn't really anything wrong with this sign, except for the fact that if you continue forward to the traffic lights you meet this, which is identical except that it's pointing the other way.

(The first sign is more correct - if you follow the second then you go round a one-way loop to end up where you started.)

[ellandback]

This has just been replaced with one that says M621

(And yes, I am aware that technically you do join the M621 sliproad for a hundred yards or so before reaching the M62 proper but surely practical functionality trumps technical correctness - nobody in the real world would think they were joining the M621 here?!)

Take the A6 in the direction of... nowhere.

Surface dressing finished, the A4226/B4265 Rhoose Bypass and Airport Road now have hazard warning lines painted along the entire length

White lining contractors have one job. To paint white lines. What in the blue blazes is going on with this industry?

[Big L]

Do we think Shropshire are correct in signposting Speed Limit Ahead as a hazard?

[Conekicker]

Do we think Shropshire are correct in signposting Speed Limit Ahead as a hazard?

Oooo, that's a really tricky one Big L.

Now let me think about the answer.

For a whole nanosecond.

That seems like a bodge to solve a percieved problem. It's at the bottom of Clee Hill which makes cars feel like soapbox racers. And once you get to Rocks Green you really haven't got long to find out if your brakes still work before the A49 roundabout. That said, an earlier speed limit sign would be the approved solution, or SLOW marked on the road. Rumble strips perhaps.

Well, speed enforcement is a hazard, so...

I'd like to introduce this special case: Parking here could cost a ! child's life
