See if you can work out the difference between what they want this sign to mean, and what it actually means.

Ignore the no entry sign, that's for cars using the car park. It's the one above it that I'm interested in.

Err I can only assume it would mean either no cycling in front of pedestrians or pedestrians must not go behind cyclists. Or last guess no picking the pocket of cyclists or no groping cyclists?

Were they trying to say pedestrians have priority over cyclists? Using the other bits of wording nearby!

A little off topic but saw this at an away game last season (I won't name and shame)

Did they not?

when i look at the sign i can only see a sly dig at cyclist for being uncourteous towards others in the area.

if thats the case its abit unfair for the council that put the sign up as it is hinting that all cyclist are uncourteous, fair enough some ive came across would prefer to pass that close to me while on foot that i swear i can smell there aftershave of my own clothes but that's only a minority, the vast majority of cyclists ive came across on foot & while riding are more than courteous towards others.

It's not a council sign, it was put up by the university. It is trying to say that both cyclists and pedestrians may use the concourse area and that neither have priority so please lets all watch out and be courteous to each other.

What it actually says imo is "cyclists and pedestrians prohibited"

So the intent is good, but the signage is less than clear.

I saw a sign on the back of an artic once that read "no illegal immigrants left in this lorry overnight"

See I know both those signs so for me I have to turn it into some kind of interaction between the two, in the same way you get no overtaking. Mind you I get annoyed at the local pedestrian centre which shows the No Cycling sign with a diagonal bar across it. So that reads as No No Cycling to me!

Do you all ride, en masse, down it and gesticulate to the cars to drive in the kerbside?

I'll try it with the Kingsway CC lads tomorrow if we go that way, and if I stop posting you'll know how we got on.
