Grateful if one of our many highway experts could give me their opinion on the placement of this temporary sign.
Personally, I think that forcing pedestrians into the road is a bad thing and the sign should be in the road (it's a pretty wide urban road).

Re: Temporary Sign placement
Appalling. It should be in the carriageway protected by cones/light at the leg closest to moving traffic.
But it's only pedestrians being inconvenienced instead of cars so no one will care...

I care! The head of roads will be getting an email, as will my Councillors and I might just use my work email to contact the head of the TM company...Bryn666 wrote:But it's only pedestrians being inconvenienced instead of cars so no one will care...
I also moved it onto the road after taking the photo.

Re: Temporary Sign placement
I've moved TM signs before when they've been blocking footways too.
Maybe I am just cynical having worked for fairly rubbish people in the past

You're saying the crowd you work for now are good? They're all the same mate, they're all the same...Bryn666 wrote:I've moved TM signs before when they've been blocking footways too.

Patience is not a virtue - it's a concept invented by the dozy beggars who are unable to think quickly enough.
Re: Temporary Sign placement
Haha, actually my current job is with an environmental consultant so I've done more on highway and domestic drainage than traffic recently.

Re: Temporary Sign placement
Quite possibly boilerplate, but this is the reply I received from the MD within two hours of sending a complaint in this morning.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. This falls way below the standard that we expect of our traffic management operatives.
Please be assured that the decision of the crew to place the sign here will be fully investigated, leading to disciplinary actions should this be deemed appropriate.
I will use your photographs to be incorporated in to a toolbox talk for all of our operatives, supervisors, planners and contracts staff.

Re: Temporary Sign placement
The temporary sign was only placed on the footway because there was no cycle path to put it in.
