Re: Route confirmation signs in un-obvious places
That's not un-obvious at all, it's more or less the correct distance from the road junction just north of the bridge preceding it. RCS, if provided, should be sited 100-400m after a junction.
Patience is not a virtue - it's a concept invented by the dozy beggars who are unable to think quickly enough.

Again, in more or less the right location after the end of an entry slip, in this case around 400m or so.nowster wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 00:21It's here, just after J37: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oLUbJRcfRCjpKJi96Rillington wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 12:20 I think there are occasional examples of this on our motorway network where there is a RCS in a location other than after a junction or after services.

Re: Route confirmation signs in un-obvious places
While I agree if that road was important the A605 junction does not look like it's heavily used. In fact I cannot find any signs for the A1 ( South) which would direct any traffic to that junction incl here. This could be one of those SABRE searches, find a junction between two A-Roads (at least one primary) with less signage than this one.Conekicker wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 18:21That's not un-obvious at all, it's more or less the correct distance from the road junction just north of the bridge preceding it.

Re: Route confirmation signs in un-obvious places
I thought that, at one time, there was an eastbound RCS on the M62 midway between junctions 37 and 38 given the distance between these junctions.Conekicker wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 18:24Again, in more or less the right location after the end of an entry slip, in this case around 400m or so.nowster wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 00:21It's here, just after J37: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oLUbJRcfRCjpKJi96Rillington wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 12:20 I think there are occasional examples of this on our motorway network where there is a RCS in a location other than after a junction or after services.

There was this one I noticed on the M1 last year - the topic mentions a few others too.

Re: Route confirmation signs in un-obvious places
Not in an unobvuious place, but a contender for the greatest aggregate mileage on a single RCS?
