Strange Road Signs

[ebikeerwidnes]

This one - look at the lampost on the right

so - no walking and no cycling

This is the strt point of the Mersey Gateway bridge over the Mersey from Runcorn to Widnes

so not unreasonable

except that before this point THIS is the road - and for quite a few miles

Soa busy dual carraigeway with high speed and no cycle path of any real kind
There is a sort of hard shoulder a bit befroe this point - but that is what it is - and it is covered in grit and general detritus


so anyone cycling on the road is basically lost and in danger

I would not be surprised if teh Police were called and stopped anyone cycling on it
I have certainly never seen anyone do it


but then suddenly - No Cycling

in reality the road after that point is slightly better as it is wider and cleaner!!




Oh - and the signs that migth help an actual cyclist are just not there - there are cycle route but they are not signed from any normal roads

for info if anyone is cycling through there - to get over the river follow signs for Runconr Train STation as the old bridge with the cycle path is near there
any sotehr signs for Widnes/Liverpool take you over the otehr bridge that is no cycling!

If you look carefully, you will see that there is a graveyard beyond this fence. Danger of death?

Maybe that's because people feed them so much, they are too fat to fly

Google Translate made some sense (but didn't get it all right, I don't think):

fflamiau ffitio sylwebydd = commenter fitting flames
mewn argyfwng dyfynwch y tri gair hyn = in an emergency quote these three words

The W3W words do not need to make sense. Just be a unique combination for the location. However this is plainly AI or other tweaking as W3W does not recognise it

Or w3w is broken again and you can't tell because its method isn't fully public.

I don't know much Welsh but I can tell that the translation tool changed the word order.

Yes it does, if you download the Welsh file.

It is at Dunraven Bay (which isn't to far from me, we visit it occasionally, I cycle past on the road above a few times a month).

If only there was a simple grid system based on co-ordinates that we could use

That normally only goes down to 100m - which is usually plenty, admittedly.
