Interesting. Shame about some of the graphics, signs need to accurately reflect the regs to be lawful. So "squished" it is for some of them then...

Flashing light pedestrian zone signs - are these to replace prism signs? Not sure I like the placement of the lamps
Low Emission Zone signs - big thumbs up, finally proper signs unlike the current ones in Glasgow
Speed limit countdown signs - good to see these in the regulations, but it's annoying they've defined the roundel to be red and not black
Motorhome symbol - very nice, fits in well with the rest of the symbols
Tourist symbols - nothing special, but good to see these

I might just put in a request for the working drawings for some of them

I'm surprised there are any motorhome dump points on public highways.

There must be quite a few for a symbol to be created for it!

Also worth noting in the text that "Concealed access" and "Pedestrians and cyclists crossing" are now authorised supplementary plates

I wonder if it reflects an intent to create more? Motorhomes are becoming much more common in the Highlands in the summer.

100% agree, put them at the corner of the top panel like part time 20 limits at schools. I would guess it's to replace time plates that people either don't have time to read, or just ignore and plead ignorance.

I am doubly impressed they haven't just nicked the French symbol here, at first glance I thought they had but I've compared it with ID30 from the French sign set and it's subtly different.

It’s been done! site specific authorisation as far as I can tell.
