C Signs

Post by Britain »

Has anybody ever seen these signs before? I've seen similar signs relating to the London Congestion Charge but I've never actually seen a sign with the C and a camera symbol and I've never seen the "end of zone" C sign either.

I can't find any information online or in the Highway Code. Are they up to standard?

The C with the line through it is all over the place in London

The authorisation for the signs is in TSRGD2016 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/362/made Schedule 8 Part 4

(i.e. diagrams 894 + 679)

The other sign, the C with a camera symbol, is a reminder that you’re within the Congestion Charge zone. They’re dotted all over the place within the Congestion Charge area.

Perfect, just what I was looking for. Thank you.

Thankfully nowhere, just curious as I've never seen them before.

When the ULEZ is extended next year, to encompass the area within the North and south circular roads there are going be significantly more signs to deal with. A huge area to "enforce" and with so many entry/exit points. Whoever gets to make the signs for that exercise is going to do very well.

You're right about that. The C signs I saw have been installed on/near the Mersey Gateway Bridge in Cheshire. There are no C road markings or entry signs yet. I noticed the C camera signs go up then a couple of days later the Zone ENDS signs went up so it'll be interesting to see what more furniture they install.
