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.

View attachment 626110 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.

:eek: 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.)
