Strange Road Signs

Not a roadsign, but

I saw that sign on my Cheshire forum ride in June AND on nickyboy's Llandudno ride!

It's on a National Cycle Route!

Someone should tell the badgers!

Someone should tell the badgers!

They are probably set in their ways.

London examples of that sign are discussed in https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/tfl-two-stage-right-turn.186096/

I understand it used to be common practice in NZ for all traffic but I can't remember if their latest highway code equivalent phased it out.

Isn't that due to the trams in Melbourne?

How many people actually need to recycle their local Baptist Chapel?

If you're ever stuck for somewhere to go, or uncertain which way to go, ones like this are handy.

I recognise that one, I was born in Glaisdale, where the other bit of the sign is pointing.

On Sunday, I rode past the signs visible in this picture: the bottom sign pointing left is National Route 11 to King's Lynn, but the top sign pointing ahead right (as that's how they position them) is a French-style one to Civray. Sadly it's a one-off and the signs do not continue any further along the route!

is that Ballyvaughan ? I don’t recall the sign but the distances seem consistent. fantastic part of the world but you don’t have to spend a long time there to realise Father Ted isn’t a sitcom but a fly-on-the-wall documentary

“If I wanted to go there I wouldn’t start from here”

...it's a long, long way from there to here. And gets further day by day....

Cafe to the right of the sign.

Nice place for cycling though.
