Road Signs

[shaunbhoy]

Last Friday I was going down the M20 and they will removing the triangle for Gatwick. Maybe Gatwick airport has moved. Or anyone who doesn't know the way before they set off does not deserve to get there.

Once did a contract in Burgess Hill for Ericsson. Unless the traffic has improved, it was always moving so slowly as you passed the Gatwick turning that you had plenty of time to consult the map!!

It's a potential diversion route to follow.

Somewhere there will be a sign for the symbols (if a diversion is ever needed), e.g. Triangle = Airport, Square = Train Station.

Then you just follow the Triangles or Squares...


They are also sometimes used for routes to touristy stuff, e.g. castles

Noticed a sign with S T O P on it, not sure what that stands for.

Maybe you should take the bus while you check there is nothing else you have missed.

I have noticed that some road signs, especially on/near motorways have various black & yellow shapes, squares, triangles, diamond and circles?

Does anyone know they are all about?

Are you talking about the "Emergency Diversion Routes"?

I think that they are still a "work in progress".

It does sound like a worthwhile project though.

Search me. I've long since forgotten them, after taking my test 20 years ago.

But I've noticed that driving up a street with red circles at the end, one finds that most of the traffic seems to be going the other way.
