Strange Road Signs

[winjim]

Is that warning you of animals or low bridges?

I guess if it was a really low bridge you might have to duck.

I came across signs like this around Salisbury Plain

I refer the hon. gentleman to my reply made on August 22nd 2013.

That is a good one, I know the feeling, sat looking at google maps

My favourite was one I saw in Ireland back in the 1990's on a road which simply read "this is the wrong way"

I saw plenty of these in Australia a number of years ago, thinking 'how the hell do they know where I'm going?:

Whilst out last week I saw one large red sign at the side of the road near Badsworth, with the wording "Cats eyes removed" I think it's a bit harsh, surely the RSPCA might have something to say about that, also driving out of Sherburn in Elmet the council have put a sign out with the message "Warning Potholes" well that'll help won't it, not.

On Lunnsfield Lane (from Fairburn, to, Burton Salmon)
Granted, the surface under the railway bridge is horrible on skinny tyres
The rise, is the bridge over the (new) A1, as I headed towards Burton Salmon, & the 'Tadcaster TurnPike' (A162)

Can't see it very well from the Streetview but this warning sign just before the duck pond in Foolow always cheers me up.

Around Cannon Hall, (west of Barnsley), there's the Toad Crossing signs, but those are put out by the Hall/gardens
Here's some more

i thought cat eyes were just things on the roads to show you the centre of road, hard shoulder etc... (seen them when i've been in parents car not really when cycling)

So it probs means those cat eyes. not actual cat eyes

You are either joking or are very young

I thought it would involve a different kind of riding tbh...

Sorry, no picture but there's a skid risk sign in Welsh (and only Welsh) on a minor lane on one of my local loops. I live in Hampshire.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

No, I haven't been caught out, when we've been there, but have seen others done so
The far end is a rather isolated location, with not many homes



This is actually a legal road..............
Well, a 'BOAT', or was ('Byway Open To All Traffic')


I'm sure someone will know both locations
I've run over the lower signed road (or most of it)

Another one from Australia:

And a sign on the shared user path in Gt. Yarmouth, spotted on the overnight 'Chase the Rising Sun' sportive last year.
