God knows there are few enough in this game who know how to design signs properly, so any potential new recruit who shows a spark of interest is to be encouraged!
Absolutely, the sum total of those of us who care properly about traffic signs can probably fit in a small hatchback.
I care, but get others to get it right for me :-)

I care too, an awful lot. It's just a shame that my career seems to have substantially dodged any half decent signing schemes in recent years (hopefully to be rectified shortly)

You poor, poor thing. Presumably one can safely assume that, (like all structural bods I've ever had dealings with), you've had your personality removed and have lost whatever common sense you previously had? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

For those who have never had dealings with them, Structures boys are weird...

I think they ignored Frant station on the left because no body wants heavy traffic

What's heavy traffic got to do with it? It's not going to be the trains themselves going down there! It will only really be commuters and a handful of visitors to the area, you wouldn't get heavy traffic going to Frant station!

The traffic down that lane is heavy due to it being a rat run, so I would recommend a restriction or advance warning of sorts.

it actually makes a useful short cut from the south of Tunbridge wells to Paddock Wood avoiding the Pembury road snarl up. why, i used it from Tunbridge wells Cemetary on bayhall road
