Yeah, that's the sort of thing I meant.

The Opening or Swing Bridge sign is used for any bridge where there is not a permanent link for traffic, and flow can be disrupted to let water traffic through instead.
The early version of this sign was simply a warning triangle with the text "SWING BRIDGE" below it.
The sign introduced in 1964 is an warning triangle depicting an open bridge. It uses TSRGD diagram 529.
Thanks for your work and for pointing this out. I've now deleted the "Quayside_or_Riverbank" gallery as an Obsolete page.c2R wrote:I had a go at fixing the Warning Sign/Quayside images - there were two galleries with various images split between them - I've moved the images, but now there's a duplicate gallery that I can't get rid of - http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/inde ... _Riverbank
Any ideas?
Your idea for better coverage of this area in the Wiki is a good one, Brock. An article -- http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/inde ... e=LTN_1/94 -- does already exist touching on the "Guildford rules", and I think that this, or a reworking of it, would be a good home for an elucidation of the "patches 'n' panels" question.Brock wrote:Having recently been involved in a rather protracted discussion about signage on the main forum, I realized that there's very little reliable information available about the definitions of the various terms involved. This came up specifically in the context of the word "patch", which seems to be defined one way in the official literature but is quite commonly used differently here on SABRE. Different sources on the Web give different definitions, to add to the confusion.
Might it be useful to give definitions of the most commonly used terms in the Wiki to avoid similar misunderstandings in future? We could compile a list here perhaps - "patch" and "panel" clearly need explaining and differentiating for starters. I could go ahead and create the pages myself, but I'm no expert in any of this.
M4Mark provided the following link which I think is more accessible to outsiders than the DfT Traffic Signs Manual:

Yes, that's not a bad overview, but I was wondering if we ought to have individual pages defining all the terms involved, or at least a page dedicated to road sign terminology. There are pages for things like "grade-separated junction" when it comes to the roads themselves.Viator wrote:Your idea for better coverage of this area in the Wiki is a good one, Brock.
