Mrs D and I have spent several holidays in that area and have always liked that sign. We both habitually refer to the place as "Stromeferrynoferry".

Could be. There is a shared space before this that ends suddenly.

I can remember getting on that Ferry before the road was built around the south of Loch Carron. In recent years a landslip on that "new" road meant the Ferry ran especially as the local kids had to get to school. Until the landslip was sorted anyway.

Curiously, not allowing walkers! The dangers of people fiddling with road sign designs...

I like the way it is in English. Do the Danes not need telling?

Most people in Denmark (if not all), speaks English, but as a get out clause for not getting a ticket, if you are kissing for more than three minutes you just tell the parking warden that you didn't understand the sign :-)

Interesting. Here bikes are permitted unless stated otherwise.
I don't know the ruling on trains but have never seen any sneaking through the local park.

Yes, and erection of a blue circle sign without walkers normally denotes their prohibition. See the difference between "cycles only" and "pedal cycle and pedestrian route" in https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/traffic-signs or similar official documents. It doesn't really matter in this case because it's a council silly seaside novelty made-up sign anyway AFAIK. There will be no Traffic Order to make it enforceable. I expect any motorist infringing will be done for driving not on a carriageway (an offence that doesn't need signs) and nothing else will be enforced.

While I'm being boring, if the cycleway downgraded to a footway there, it should now be signed "Cyclists Rejoin Carriageway", previously the misleading "End of Route", previously a blue circle bike symbol with "End" rectangle under it. In any case, with no drop kerb, you could ride on to the nearest safe point to rejoin the carriageway!
The "Cyclists Dismount" is advisory wibble probably because the cycleway continues and the safety auditors consider the railing too low but the authority is too tight to bolt on an extension and the auditors are lame enough to OK it with an advice sign. Around here, we have one on entry to a narrow bridge with low walls, but a dismounted rider pushing a bike is too wide to fit without contortions, pushing the bike from behind the back wheel in a Superman-style posture, which is not at all stable!

I had a drive over to Snaith yesterday, as the old bridge had been playing in my mind for a while
And I wanted to have a look at it
Once I'd parked near at the railway station, & was walking up into the town I saw this advertising board at the 'Black Lion', on Selby Road

If anyone's interested, there's 6 local buildings of interest, starting from here
