The A423 Ladbroke Bypass is a stretch which had been completed many years before the Southam Bypass and the view shows the advance direction sign and weigth restriction for the northern turn to the village together with the speed camera/limit sign. The Dinosaur sign (see gallery warning signs) is on this stretch between here and the turn to Ladbroke. 270407

Southward view of the twisty rural nature of this road. Despite its emptiness LGV traffic is still heavy and it tends to flow in batches giving one a quiet time to walk freely 270407

There's something here, but we're not going to tell you what it is... We're just going to do something very strange with the road symbol! Presuming the airfield was built around the time of the Battle of Britain, the OS had 8 years, and one revision of the 1' series, to be a little more convincing about this!

The 7th series map (1967) shows the airfield in full for the first time. However, despite the passage of nearly 30 years since its construction, the roads haven't yet been renumbered: the A423 stops either side of Benson... (My 1974 Book of the Road has the A423 following the B479 and A4130.) Originally uploaded to Coppermine on May 20, 2006 by FosseWay

A cattle sign has been doctored by sticking a dinosaur shape over it although if you look closely the cattle image is still visible - Catches your attention though! I believe there were some fossils discovered in the nearby quarry which gives a tenous link. 270407

The final stretch of the bypass is a roundabout with the A426 Rugby Road, A423 and Southam Town Centre arms. As this is approached on a sweeping left hand approach the advance direction sign is placed on the offside approx 350M from the junction to give maximum visibility 300407

General view of a straight stretch with a farm traffic warning sign on a stretch where you can put your foot down to overtake something slow moving. Further over to the right out of shot is the radio mast. As previously mentioned LGVs use this road and this shot is deceptive - the road is busy with flows in batches. 270407
