For instance, there a "New crossing ahead" sign two doors down from us, concerning a zebra crossing that has been there ever since we moved in nearly a year ago and judging by the state of the crossing markings, has been there considerably longer!
I bet it's no-one's job to take old signs down, only to put new ones up. But I must admit the sign does act as an indicator that I'm just about to get to my house, so I don't drive past it!
However, the photo (right) is of another incredible bungle by someone. On the Southend Arterial Road (A127) there's a direction sign off to Laindon, where we live. However, they've just put in a speed restriction, so they decided to erect a "Speed cameras" right in front of the direction sign, as you can probably see from the picture. Sorry it's not very clear, but it was taken through the windscreen as we travelled down the road.So here's a message to all those who may come to visit us from the direction of Southend:-
Take the turning where you would have read "Laindon" if the direction sign was not totally blocked by the "Speed cameras" sign.
