Wordy Signs

[Alderpoint]

Took a slightly scenic route to the south coast yesterday, and stopped and had a coffee (and later lunch) in Salisbury. Nice place, interesting and varied architecture.

And one of the most wordy signs I've seen describing the restrictions in the market place. I especially like the part describing the location of Footpath 66

This quite wordy sign existed here for many years. I've mentioned it before. It was first put up when the route ahead was cut off by the construction of the Glasgow Southern Orbital in the early 2000s. I wondered if it would be removed when the GSO was completed, but the dated views on Streetview show it remained until at least 2016.

Long winded signs were probably quite common in the distant past:

Posted before, and several times too, this will always be my favourite!

These are a bit strange.

Makes sense (maybe) to drive slowly if there isn't a road.

Problem of course is that the road isn't a dead end - just turns left into another road.

Just one example of a very wordy sign

But they could have just said

SLOW
Road closed ahead

They can't even get the right sign - it should be a no motor vehicles sign. The no entry signs would only be lawful if there was an exit.

Could they have used a "No through route" and "Through traffic" sign like this? https://www.google.com/maps/@54.6782824 ... ?entry=ttu

... nearly as long!

That's awful. Surely better with two monolingual signs, one on each side of the road, and use a wider plate on the nearside for the bilingual "Park here and use phone at crossing" sign.
