I'm surprised that's still there!

I'm surprised that's still there!

There's a similar one on a footpath less than a mile away too!

In Scotland, last week, we saw warning signs (triangular/red borders)

Otters Crossing (think this was on the A9, between Dingwall & Alness??)

Red Squirrels (Tufty needs to teach the youngsters nowadays?)

And, my favourite, which would make a great name for an 'indie band'
Feral Goats (actually., with 'For Next 2 Miles')

Sorry no photos, as traffic/roads didn't really allow stopping, or safely walking back to the points in question

Although....

We did see this advice at Pitlochery, by the Hydroelectric Visitor Centre....

We saw this on Saturday, when we drove past
Traffic precluded a stop

So, I've been back today

A64
On what to me is York Road, although locally, it may be Leeds Road?
However, it was the Tadcaster & Halton Dial TurnPike Road (as several milestones state)

The sign is about a mile west of 'Bramham Crossroads' (although it's not been an actual crossroads since the 50s), it's where the A1 & A64 bisect

Dogs Trust being the renaming of National Canine Defence League

Wow! That sign (or something similar) was there during the early 1970s when I was a student at Bangor!

Can anyone explain a strangely coloured A road sign with black text on a yellow background, photo in this posting

Temporary sign?

You're kidding me! I was at UCNW from 1972 to 1975. I lived off Glanrafon Hill, and later in a village on Anglesey called Llanddaniel Fab. My only claim to any kind of fame is that I rode my motorbike at 5 times the speed limit past that very sign. (The Menai Bridge speed limit was 15 mph, but don't let that spoil anything.)

I suspect it is a temporary diversion.

Except that it is correct for junction.

I took that photo myself in within the last couple of years so it's been in place a long time!
