Pre-Worboys Sign

This is a relatively new sign, and has no pre-Worboys equivalent.

The Scottish Roads Archive have a photo of the southern approach to the Clyde Tunnel from March 1964 showing two signs stating "Minimum 8mph". It pre-dates the erection of the first Worboys signs by around 6 months. They have suggested the signage was perhaps unique to the tunnel at that time. A low resolution version of the photo can be seen on the BBC News website.

Worboys Sign

This sign was first introduced in the 1981 TSRGD and has not been changed since then. Minor alterations have been made since then, but overall these are hardly noticeable.
