I found this recently at my local library car park and have just finished painting it. Far better now, isn't it.

A pre-Worboys 'No Entry' sign, studded with reflectors, on St. John Street in Edinburgh. Picture taken 17 December 1991.

My research has only found one other of these since the pair were removed at Pinewood Studios, and although the paint has long worn off the words can be seen in relief. It is at the entry to the library car park in Christchurch Avenue.

I only just found this was not a private issue as I found an original photo taken of a pair of these in Wormwood Street in central London. I'd never seen one myself but clearly a rarer alternative to the familiar red circles.

This is on an actual road although looked like a private estate. Half the signs on it are pre-Worboys although like this some added new ones underneath them.

Barnet Council had the good sense to stick on the extra information on a standard no entry sign themselves to increase the chances of people taking notice. The government may disapprove of them but on private roads the story is different.

No idea of the reason behind this, although a number of other signs had suffered the same treatment

This strange no-entry sign is on a small link between two carparks in Minehead.

Fairly clear evidence of its origins here.

At the exit to a block of flats in St Johns Wood. As it was made in the pre-Worboys style and era they should have used a genuine one as facing a public road.

This is the junction of the Service Road running next to the A3 with South Lane, New Malden. This plethora of signs, including a bus gate featured in the New Scientist

Queen Elizabeth Road in Kingston. In this direction it's no entry except to cyclists, who have a height limit of 10'9' imposed on them

The markings are wrong, the lanes are too narrow for two cyclists to pass. The refuge is not illuminated. There are no warning signs for drivers to be alerted of contraflow cycle lanes.
Also how is a cyclist meant to make the double 90 degree turn shown in the markings?

I had to photo it :-)

A forest of 'no entry' signs on St Philip's Road, Cambridge (looking W from Thoday St). This is only a small fraction of the total number on this street.
The street is effectively one-way for motor traffic with a cycle contraflow. However, for some reason it isn't explicitly signed as such - it's theoretically two-way between the junctions, hence the need for no-entry signs at each of the junction 'plugs'. Complete waste.

This is the start of the old section. Note the raised divider and absence of 'except cycles' plate on the No Entry sign

A shortcut for buses into Westbourne, on the old A35, which now goes onto Wessex Way for a while, before heading into Bournemouth.

Bendy no-entry sign to increase visibility to traffic approaching from the side. They have these in Estonia too. Taken in Stockholm.

The old trace of the road.

The street ahead is no-entry. So that traffic coming from the side street can see, the no-entry sign is bent around. Not convinced this adds much but it's quite fun.

The street to the right is no-entry. So that traffic coming from the side street can see, the no-entry sign is bent around. Not convinced this adds much but it's quite fun. Also note standard one way sign, and parking restrictions.

A myriad of no entry signs.

Priory Gardens has a subway under the North Circular to Park Royal, one to the centre of the Hanger Lane Gyratory, and this new cycle track to a 'cyclists only' crossing on Hanger Lane.

Normally, 20 limits end and turn into a 30 limit. But this one in Exeter ends on a road with a 40 limit.
