Re: Manky Signs
I'm pretty sure that flag signs pointing up aren't allowed. And it's not just been mounted sideways, as the "P" is the right way up.

Re: Manky Signs
Thanks for replying, Chris and SteelCamel.
Now you've mentioned it, SC, it's obviously a rotated flag sign, I couldn't quite see it before but knew it wasn't right.
Chris, I know the blue signs are obsolete but didn't realise these were incorrect even when new, due to the font.
Thanks.

Re: Manky Signs
Back to this one. I posted it last year. M62 Jct 9. A few weeks ago i noticed it had gone but lo and behold today i passed and it has been put back up, in the same state on new posts. Couldn't believe it! Who has responsibility for entry slip signs? HE or local ?

Re: Manky Signs
Managed to stop by today. M62 Jct 9 eastbound entry slip. Surely this sign was not worth re hanging
Re: Manky Signs
I've credited you but I've had to share this with the wider world.
