Strange Road Signs

It's really the combination here...

For me the odd thing is that it specifically states the protocol if you are being followed by a faster vehicle. The police enforce it up there but down in England slower drivers seem to think it is there bounden duty to obstruct. Out on my bikes I often get deliberately blocked by people in cages on wheels.

That the style of sign, who on earth comes up with such stupidity.

I liked this one; seen yesterday in West Somerset. Looks like a proper County Council sign.

Probably a relocation, according to Wikipedia wikipedia.org/wiki/County_borough
the only TCBs were Teeside, Torbay, Torfaen and Tyneside.

I assumed that "TCB" there referred to the same thing as the sign itself - The Cottage Beyond.

I'm pretty certain you are right. There is a bit of a fad for these rather attractive modern/retro confections at the moment

This one outside a bus depot in Bristol made me smile

It seems pretty obvious at Harrogate bus station where the pedestrian areas are and where the buses park and manoeuvre, it being one of the bus pull in and reverse out type. At one time an overly large route map had been located on the tall wall at the rear quite easily understood from the pedestrian area but I did once see two elderly people wandering across the tarmac for a closer look oblivious to any bus attempting to reverse off its stand. They were rescued by one of station staff who probably should have directed them in the opposite direction to Specsavers.

fairly obvious what the TCB is, plus "Teeside" doesnt / never has existed.

Indeed if it's not an original County Council sign but if it is as the posting implied...

An uncommon one rather than strange. Seen whilst on holiday in Cornwall:
