11 signs for a non existent motorway
I don't know how this has happened but there are 11 signs for the A77(M) (a motorway that doesn't exist) on the A78, A71 and B7080 near Irvine in Scotland, I would imagine that this is unique to have a motorway that has never existed on so many road signs. Does anyone know of anywhere else where this is the case ?

Never mind non existent motorways, how about ALL of them.

But that is the most sensible route to all of the motorways from there.Jonathan B4027 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 20:28 Never mind non existent motorways, how about ALL of them.

I've seen one sign for the A77(M), which I think was in Kilmarnock about ten years ago, but I'd no idea there were 11 of them!
Re: 11 signs for a non existent motorway
There were several of them years ago, surprised they still live on - they presumably referred to the 1996 extension, not the most recent length as they were there in 2003 when I first visited that area.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/8XTgFprWGhtRv5cm6 - this one is fairly prominent.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/9PUUaqvPfnwLidj28 - this looks more recent, though, most other signs are still green and just say Glasgow (A77).

Re: 11 signs for a non existent motorway
Correction - it was Irvine like the others! I've stumbled across the old post where I first mentioned it.
