This route sign for Town centre has been relocated (see #21400) without any thought as to which way the arrow is pointing. Town centre is in fact to the right, not left.
Parkland Walk: footpaths/cyclepaths off the walk lack signposts. Easy to 'miss the junction'.
Colleges Cycle Route direction sign approaching Broomhill Cross. Directions for cyclists turning left are given on the far side of the junction! Worn out cycle lane markings no longer visible.
The signs from 33032. Could so with being rationalised (a new NCN11 sign has been tacked on the bottom) and the road sign to the station is looking rather tatty. However, they're all useless thanks to the tree that hides them!
Can you see the cycle route sign? It is hidden behind a tree, and a sign less than a metre in front of it facing in the opposite direction stating 'No motor cycles' #32006
The point where the Cumbernauld to Glasgow cycle route joins the redetermined footway (to the right only) of North Hanover Street. Not only do cyclists have to watch out for the step half way down the ramp, but the cycle route signs, on a s ... [more]
"Discontinuous National Cycle Route - Rejoin route after 600 yds on Glasgow Rd Blantyre" "Cyclists Rejoin Carriageway" No dropped kerb to rejoin carriageway, and no signage for those unfamiliar with the area to get to Glasgow Road. See al ... [more]
"Discontinuous National Cycle Route - Rejoin route after 600 yds on Whistleberry Rd" "Cyclists Rejoin Carriageway" No dropped kerb to rejoin carriageway, and no signage for those unfamiliar with the area to get to Whistleberry Road. The ... [more]
Official Route 7 signs leading into a dead end. The signs have been there since long before the BBC building, when the real route was slightly to the left of this picture. Now that has been barricaded off, with no signs to show that the n ... [more]
Sign mentioning the National Cycle Route 22, which is a bit misleading since the national route 22 is about 8 miles to the west and there is no more signage towards it after this sign. Location: Bellingham, London (England, United Kingdo ... [more]
Route sign on East Kilbride local cycle route 1 changes to P on a red patch for no obvious reason
End of Cycle Route and Cyclists Dismount signs at end of shared-use footway on Queensway. Quite why the footway on the rest of Queensway is considered any less suitable for shared-use is anybody's guess!
Junction of East Kilbride local cycle route 1 (to Newlandsmuir and Strathaven) and anonymous cycle route to Hairmyres. This is signed with a mix of Cycles Only, Shared Use and Recommended Route signs (see #31502), rarely in the right places ... [more]
Inconsistent route signage on East Kilbride local route 1, one sign has route number on red (NCN) patch, the other has no route number.
London Cycle Route sign using the wrong coloured background. The National Cycle Route 22 doesn't go anywhere near Lewisham. The route number should have a blue background for local routes rather than red which is for national routes.
End of Cycle Route sign on route that could so obviously have been made much longer. (path leads to toucan crossing, see #31494)
Minimalist cycle route signing on the circular High Blantyre - Flemington cycle route (no destinations are shown on any signs associated with this route!)
No Cycling sign before end of shared-use footway opposite junction on Uddingston to East Kilbride cycle route. (see also #31484)
New route sign on Hakewill Way, for the Country Park, North Station, and Town Centre. No mention of the General Hospital though.
NCN route 4 must pass on the side of the Discovery Centre, Llanelli, as there's no room on the other side, whatever the signs say.
'Cyclists Dismount' on NCN route 4 - why on earth, so far short of such a quiet dead-end road?
New route sign on the corner of Crouch Street and Head Street. Local destinations only; no mention of next key places on the National Cycle Network (Witham and Ipswich Route 1, Harwich Route 51).
Cycle route sign on west corner of Hope Street / Broad Street junction. The sign saying "Queen's Way Est; New Road Ind Est" (see Google StreetView imagery) is missing. Fault reported to Kent Highway Services on 2011-Mar-14. Ref 25611.
Can you spot the tiny walking and cycling route signs ? The one on the lamppost on the left says 'Rustat Road', and the one on the lamppost on the very right has symbols only.
Note the big uninformative cycle lanes sign contrasting with the smaller detailed and virtually illegible (from the riding position) directional signage.
Misleading signage - the No Pedestrians sign refers not to the coastal path and NCN cycle route 3, but to the bus station to the left.
The new Sawston to Babraham cycle route is signed as a footpath! Why is the county so scared of being seen to provide anything for cyclists?
Does this mean cyclists are meant to be on the footway? (partly obstructed by drivers waiting to collect children from school)
To reach the new cycle route from Whittlesford to Sawston, you have to use a footpath.
To reach the new cycle route from Whittlesford to Sawston, you have to use a footpath.
Route sign for Town Centre and the University. They are actually in opposite directions! The university is to the left here.
This route sign has been turned such that both signs point the wrong way. The signs should point south, down a fairly narrow path, and west, along the road Fouracres away from the school towards the road Aubreys.
New route sign in Haddon Park. From this angle it isn't possible to read what the direction "arm" says.
Route sign on the corner of Chapel Road and New Farm Road. Clearly legible from this direction, but from the other, impossible (see #27183).
There is a route sign on the corner of Chapel Road and New Farm Road (see #27184), but from this direction it is impossible to read it. One would expect to be able to, having arrived here following a route sign at the beginning of Villa Roa ... [more]
The new route sign on Chapel Road is located too far away from the adjacent Villa Road to be legible.
New multi-directional route sign whereby one "arm" blocks view of another, on Lexden Road.
New route sign on Norman Way. Currently one "arm" blocks view of the other (from opposite direction).
New multi-directional route sign on Prettygate Road. It is completely obscured by the hedge from one side of the road, and reliant on the owner to keep it trimmed back. One of the "arms" is staggered but more need to be for them not to c ... [more]
A new route sign has been installed on Church Lane (see #27156). So poor is its placement however, that it cannot be seen from one side, even when in the middle road. The sign it replaces suffered from exactly the same problem (see #17827).
New multi-directional route sign whereby one "arm" blocks view of another, at least from this side of Church Lane. From the other it is completely obscured by the hedge (see #27158), just as the sign this one replaces was (see #17827).
New multi-directional route sign whereby one "arm" blocks view of another, on Church Lane.
New multi-directional route sign whereby one "arm" blocks view of another, on New Farm Road. From the path next to it, it is entirely obscured by poor placement (see #27149).
From the path across King George Field, the route sign on New Farm Road is completely obscured by a tree.
New multi-directional route sign whereby one "arm" blocks view of another, on Clairmont Road.
Ridiculous new multi-directional route sign whereby one "arm" blocks view of another, on Ipswich Road.
New multi-directional route sign whereby one "arm" blocks view of another, on Ipswich Road.
New multi-directional route sign whereby one "arm" blocks view of another, in Broadlands Way.
New route sign in Broadlands Way. This being the only angle one can read both "arms".
New multi-directional route signs whereby one "arm" blocks view of another, on Cowdray Avenue.
New multi-directional route sign whereby one "arm" blocks view of another, on Sportsway.
Some confusion here - the sign suggests cyclists should carry on along the footway, whereas they should in fact join the carriageway.
Dead end: signage on former route of NCN 7 & 75, not taken down when path re-routed due to new school being built in Rosshall Park
As so often, cyclists are directed to join the carriageway just where they want to be kept out of harm's way.
It's not at all clear that NCN route 2, to the right, also goes to the centre of Totnes.
On most, if not all, of the National Cycle Network stickers in Harwich, Fleet have brandished its own logo.
Opposite Kings Lynn station - signs and traffic lights insist all traffic has to turn right, though in fact cyclists can go straight across.
As predicted, the route sign on Thornton Drive is obscured due to poor placement. It is just about visible through the tree on the left, half-way up the lamp post (see #20654).
Route sign for NCN Route 51, but it is pointing in the wrong direction. It should be directing cyclists along Hythe Station Road (where the photo was taken). Note also no cycling in the alley leading to the A133 underpass.
New route sign for Town centre and the University. This continues the trend of sideways facing signs (see #17794 and #20883). How long must we wait for the Council to realise, that cyclists face the way they are heading, just as motorist ... [more]
New route sign for the University at the end of Elmstead Road. It is safer and more direct for cyclists to join Elmstead Road at this point rather than just off the roundabout as the sign is encouraging. There should be a route sign on t ... [more]
New route sign on Greenstead Road for Hythe Station and the University. No mention of Town centre or Greenstead. Note also the lack of crossing here, very close to a cyclist fatality (see #18961).
This sign is incorrect. The Crab & Winkle link passes eastward through the University of Kent. The Crab & Winkle Way passes south towards Whitstable Road. I.e. the two foreground signs need to be swapped.
Misleading signs - the route ahead is in fact an (unsigned) cycle cut-through, whereas the main road swings right.
A shared-use link to the River Lea towpath and NCN route 1, but the signs insist on pedestrian directions only.
Poorly sited new route sign with wrong directions, by St. Andrews Avenue. See also #22207.
There ought to be a route sign in the vicinity, but not here, and not with Greenstead centre and Town centre together pointing in the same direction. Greenstead is to the right, but town centre is actually to the left. Hythe station should ... [more]
NCN route 11 swings east to end at Stansted Mountfichet station - from here on you're on your own if you want to cycle to London.
NCN route 11 swings east to end at Stansted Mountfichet station - from here on you're on your own if you want to cycle to London.
End of Cycle Route sign on one side of the road, cycle route signs on the other - a bit of joined-up thinking please?
Absolutely useless route sign for Maypole Green and Friday Woods, at Abbey Gates. See #22197 for better perspective.
New route sign for Maypole Green and Friday Wood at Abbey Gates. The Garrison is missing and it is positioned too far from St John's Street to be useful. If it looks like there is a sign on the back of it, your eyes are not playing trick ... [more]
Either you should have to dismount, or you should be able to cycle, you can't do both! P1060799 Location: , Rochester (England, United Kingdom)
If the signing is ambiguous, be in no doubt this is the END (see #21974). On Severalls Lane (part of NCN Route 1).
New route signs for Maypole Green, Friday Wood, and Town centre, on Flagstaff Road. No mention of the Garrison. OK from this direction, but if approaching from Abbey Field, these signs are of no use.
New route sign for Greenstead Centre, on Alyssum Walk. The most direct route to the centre is actually to the right, using Clarkia Walk (#20863), Dahlia Walk (#20864), and Gorse Walk (#20865, #20866).
Route sign on the back of #21917. This shouldn't be here as it is pointing to the way cyclists have just come. (If they really want to go back to the centre, they should actually go left here!) It should be a Town Centre route sign, cont ... [more]
Route sign for University* on Bromley Road, opposite The Beehive. It is also the start of the Salary Brook path and should be signed as such. There should also be a drop kerb here. * Showing the same journey time as an on-road route sign ... [more]
Cycle path between Chalfont Road and Ipswich Road. The sign is graffitied so much it is illegible.
No signage (in contrast to most of the route) that LCN25 goes right from Lyham Road into Mandrell Road, Brixton Hill Ward, Lambeth. April 2009
Sign directing to LCN3 pointing in the wrong direction. Black Prince Road at junction of Vauxhall Walk, Princes Ward, Lambeth April 2010
