"STOP" Imprinted onto red lenses in Upper Purton Swing Bridge

[aj444]

I more often saw (I use "saw" as I cannot be sure I have seen them recently - I am sure that people will correct me if I am wrong) the word STOP in black across the filter etc.

Yes - that's what I remember seeing.

So who owns the signs and wig-wags and is thus responsible for updating them?

Why would they need to update them? No organisation is obliged to follow signage in a manual which has been produced by a completely unrelated organisation. You see this all the time with signage around supermarkets/shopping areas/industrial estates/service stations and other private roads.

If the signs are on a public highway they must comply to TSRGD.

These roads are not public highway, so presumably there is no compulsion to comply. Of course non-compliant signs on private roads may be unenforcable, but are compliant signs on private roads enforcable? And if so by whom?

The Wilton site on Teesside has several miles of private road with speed limits, the police cannot enforce them but the site owners can by simply banning you and your car from coming on site which is actually a rather effective sanction as you have to stop at the barrier and show your pass.

If the roads are private, the owners can do what they like. Generally not a good idea though, as non-TSRGD signing could lead to poor/inappropriate driving.
