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. :banghead:

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

There's quite a few of those around Catterick, in North Yorkshire too

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 :tongue:

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