Road signs for roads that no longer exist

[alexmh04]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone know of any examples of road signs that show road numbers that are now obsolete for their location?
I have 3 examples but I want to know if there are any more:
Former A30 near Bodmin: https://tinyurl.com/cnn3xeb2
B6341 (former A1) near Alnwick (replaced between 2011 and 2017): https://tinyurl.com/26u4v75a
Former A828 near Glencoe: https://tinyurl.com/4bp3d47v

The road 'exists' but it bypasses this section of old A8(NI), now B58, on a new alignment but the road signs (GSV as of May 2023) still show A8

Signs for downgraded or renumbered motorways tend to remain for a long time, for example, M63 signs in the Manchester area. AFAIK the A601(M) is still signed from the M6 in spite of being downgraded a few months ago.

This sign in Washington still shows the numbering from before the rerouting of the A1 along the Western Bypass in Newcastle in 1990. It shows the Tyne Tunnel as the A1(M), and the Western Bypass as the (non-primary?) A69.

Another survivor from that era was this sign for Newcsatle A6082 at the Redheugh Bridge. However this was finally replaced this year, with the new emissions charging zone in Newcastle required new signs.

Straight on for the M85 on Dundee Road in Perth.

Found some more since yesterday:
– Former A3061 near St Austell
– Another sign on the former A3061
– Former A30 near Redruth
– Another on the former A30
– Another one at the same junction

Most of the signs for the B1507 (declassified in 2000) have been patched with blanks, but there's still a couple around.

A3061 - St Austell to Charlestown - was declassified some years ago, but lives on in these ghostly signs:

66 Charlestown Rd

It does still exist but not here
(I'm not sure if the sign is still there though)

I've never managed to find its location on GSV - and it might no longer be there - but in 2011 I chanced upon a directional sign for the original Italian A2 Autostrada somewhere south of Rome.

Considering that the A2 became part of the A1's extension to Naples as far back as 1988, I considered it quite a find, and to this day I regret not taking a photo...

There's one in Aberdeen for the relatively recently upgraded B9119, erected after the road became the A9119.

As you know, nobody would ever erect a new sign to a road which no longer exists. In this case one road reclassified, but nor was it ever the C264 - that was "Old Belfast Road", and when "Belfast Road" ceased to be the A20, it became the extended C263 as shown at the junction itself.

The reason why they got it wrong was at this junction round the corner. The signs which used to stand opposite this stopped-up junction were moved to the corner of Ballybarnes Road, but in due course the Belfast sign needed to be replaced. They correctly identified it as no longer being the A20, but mixed it up with the now declassified C264 Old Belfast Road on the other side of the new A20 (this being the new old Belfast Road - anybody feel a Vicar of Dibley joke coming on?), so when someone came along to provide the ADS on the Holywood Road, they repeated the error. Oops.

Plenty of signs in Rosendale relating to the A677, renumbered in 1997 as B6236, got replaced saying... A677.

Found some more since yesterday:
– Former A3061 near St Austell
– Another sign on the former A3061
– Former A30 near Redruth
– Another on the former A30
– Another one at the same junction

I spotted that junction riding LEJOG. Of course such things more likely to crop up when you're purposefully using the old road!

I particular enjoyed the indecision on whether the A30 was primary or non-primary...

There is stilll a sign in Carlisle city centre that says The North (A74), even though the A74 was replaced in 2008.

Still plenty of those in Dumfries including this relic which pre-dates the Dumfries By-Pass when opened in 1990 when the A75 ran along the Annan Rd ( now the A780)

The B2070 is still signed in Warehorne Road, Hamstreet, Kent. It was upgraded to an A road in the seventies and then became unclassified when bypassed in the nineties. The sign lives on though…

I’m sure I could think of more around here…

That must be a really old sign. There's still a sign in Longtown for Gretna(A74) that was probably installed in the nineties.
