Strange Road Signs

Doesn't look very ottery to me...

It seems that Singapore is much more ottery. A man was attacked by otters there ...

Not a road sign per se but I thought you might like this maxim on the Welsh Bridge in Shrewsbury:

Baffling motorway digital sign encountered this pm - A1(M) via M18 5 mins. I was on the M18 heading towards the A1(M) so the "via M18" was pretty unneccessary.

I'd never heard of the Road and Path Cycling Association. There's a bit of history about them here: https://www.cyclingnorthwales.uk/cycling-history/road-path-cycling-association/

Apparently there is a sign in Ightham in Kent. I'll look out for it next time I ride through.

Doesn't "Path" refer to track racing?

I too go through Ightham quite often, past that pub, but on the way out it's at the botton of a steep hill and I never want lose momentum by stopping and on the way back, am going too fast and the pub is just a blur.

Must stop though next time and look out for it.

Anyone mentioned the well known road in south Birmingham with the good chippy ? Dog Poo lane.
council have given up replacement of the L 😀

My local chippy and has been for nigh on 30 years (despite moving house several times), and just a few minutes down the road from me.

That happens with the M50 as well. It does run slightly off directly E-W, but not much, yet when closed it is "northbound" or "southbound".

Meanwhile the shop shelves remain empty in Gosport as lorry drivers struggle to find the location...

Saw this one in Wales. There's no way you'd have noticed it on a bike mind you.

Can't say that altogether surprises me.

Some of the bike lanes are a bit weird the way they end in Cardiff. There is one I use on the way in to work, but not on the way home, because in that direction it is on the right side of the road, and just terminates at a junction where I want to go straight across, leaving you effectively stranded on the wrong side.

That really should have been a hint to the designer that they had farked up! (The obvious fix would be to bring the right-hand road crossing in line with the cycleway before and after the crossing, but the location might need a different approach.)
