Rare Roadsigns

[SussexMan]

There is a low flying helicopters sign on the A46, there can't be many of these around.

Clearly the sign is insufficient as a warning and it needs explaining to drivers at Shoreham Airport. Seems strange to have it written in the singular.

My favourite use, directly next to a helipad

Things are done differently at Coventry Hospital

Blackburn also has wig wags next to the helipad.

Is the roundabout itself a helipad? Looks cluttered with signs and hedges

This is the Birmingham Children's Hospital Helipad, which seems to lack any warning signs

No, the helipad is just a little to the left.

D'oh the large H is a giveaway

We should never have got rid of the Z bend sign.

Maybe National Highways could (re)invent it.

Just found another nice looking one here

Not their department - but given how they claimed credit for contraflows recently...

seen a few of these signs before but not the plate underneath.

A74(M) has them. They are forever ingrained on my memory from a day in the early 90s when a heavy freezing rain shower turned a 10 mile stretch from just after the A70 junction into plate ice. Hardly a vehicle stayed on the carriageway. The irony being the signs were after the ice.

That’s a Norfolk thing. I remember the A10 and A140 have lots of them pointing down side roads too, or they did about 15 years ago. Not sure why.

Where even *is* the payphone? If you follow the road it abruptly ends with a cycle lane and a sign saying no cycling https://www.google.com/maps/@52.5419003 ... &entry=ttu
