Direction sign with odd symbols
Any idea what this means ? Or is it a case of you'll know if you need to.

Re: Direction sign with odd symbols
With their abundance in cities across the UK now, and the variety of zones, we really need some education into these signs for drivers. There's the LEZ (London), ULEZ, ZEZ, CAZ (A,B,C,D) and soon LEZ (Scotland)!
Re: Direction sign with odd symbols
It seems like, as with road charging, there is zero appetite for developing unified and consistent systems on the road anymore. We can't even agree on a consistent colour for cycle lanes so what hope do we have with anything else?Nathan_A_RF wrote: ↑Thu Oct 27, 2022 16:17 With their abundance in cities across the UK now, and the variety of zones, we really need some education into these signs for drivers.

Re: Direction sign with odd symbols
I agree there should be some education for drivers, I think I know road signs better that most but had no idea what these meant. However I assume there is little or no consistence in what is allowed you named 8, I suspect there are/will be many more with each LA doing it slightly different.Nathan_A_RF wrote: ↑Thu Oct 27, 2022 16:17 With their abundance in cities across the UK now, and the variety of zones, we really need some education into these signs for drivers.

Also I think it would be better if the shade of green was different to the primary route back ground colour.
I suspect every LA &/or Mayor wants to do it their way.

The powers to implement CAZs come from central government and part of that should have been a consistent signage strategy as - to be fair - seems to have been the case for congestion charging.

There are 4 types of CAZ. Pray you never encounter a D.

Patience is not a virtue - it's a concept invented by the dozy beggars who are unable to think quickly enough.

They're only an issue if you're running an older vehicle, petrol cars Euro 4 and later are ok.Conekicker wrote: ↑Fri Oct 28, 2022 11:39 There are 4 types of CAZ. Pray you never encounter a D.

Re: Direction sign with odd symbols
Why would they create four categories and then confuse the matter by "the local authority may include motorcycles"?
Why not just have a category E for motorcycles as well as all other vehicle classes?

Because we wouldn't then be able to see people write foaming letters to the local rag about how hard done by they've been by the rules.
