Sign I've not seen before
Spotted here on the A1123 just after the A141 roundabout at Huntingdon. I can't think of why this would be a particular issue at this location. Any thoughts?
Re: Sign I've not seen before
The curved alignment of the road means that your indicator may not self cancel from when you turned left at the roundabout.
Is there a road improvement project going on near you? Help us to document it on the SABRE Wiki - help is available in the Digest forum.

Re: Sign I've not seen before
There’s an identical sign here.
The issue was that people were turning off the parkway (heading straight on David’s Way) without cancelling their signals, and people leaving Staniland Way (which has 2 supermarkets along it) were wrongly pulling into their path.

Re: Sign I've not seen before
Similar sentiment; different wording in West Sussex.
This time because of traffic turning left at a fork junction whose alignment is pretty much a straight line.

Conversely there are signs by the Glen Nevis mini-roundabout on the A82 in Ft William saying “Please indicate your direction”. I’m not sure how common these are. None of the other junctions in the town have them (and I’m not sure how effective they are, not much it seems)

Re: Sign I've not seen before
Got this one after a roundabout just off the M9 that the road doesn't bend enough for indicators to self cancel. People were pulling out of the garden centre on the left into traffic continuing straight on in the belief they were turning.

Re: Sign I've not seen before
To be fair, some people do silly things like spend 5 mins doing a turn in the road...nodnirG kraM wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2019 00:30Good god "manoeuvre" is a stupid word ....Very Short Username wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 15:16 Got this one after a roundabout just off the M9 that the road doesn't bend enough for indicators to self cancel.

I wish they were used more, at junctions where it's particularly beneficial.FtoE wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 11:32 Conversely there are signs by the Glen Nevis mini-roundabout on the A82 in Ft William saying “Please indicate your direction”.

Such as where there is a staggered junction in which people may be in either lane to turn left at the first junction. I hate needlessly waiting for traffic here when the pictured black car is actually turning left and then, behind us, right.
