Daft 20mph signs

Fri 12 Nov 2021, 14:37

Concerning signs, how about the confusing - to my eyes - sign that has been set up in connection with the B4437 River Evenlode bridge weight restriction. The diversion sign approaching the Enstone Road crossroads from Nine Acres tells drivers the diversion ends there and to turn right to get to Charlbury Station. If they did that, they'd end up crossing the bridge that's under distress!

It may be sensible for the authorities to review all the diversion signage as this and others don't make entire sense.

Actually now, as an organisation, WODC has been transferred to Publica. This happened not in the 1970s, but in 2017:

"Publica is a council owned employment company which delivers shared services between Cotswold, West Oxfordshire, and Forest of Dean District Councils and Cheltenham Borough Council. Publica additionally provides services to the Cheltenham Trust, Cheltenham Borough Homes and UBICO (an environmental services local authority company).

Each of the councils and clients retain their independence and identity but by working together and sharing resources seek to maximise mutual benefit, leading to more efficient, effective delivery of local services."

These signs were clearly the work of our local authorities.

Costly, ineffective and unseemly, West Oxfordshire District Council was established in the 1970s.

And has been for the best part of the last ten years ...

Another ‘daft’ sign is at the bottom of the hill in Hixet Wood and advises drivers of the lack of a footpath.  But it’s facing the wrong way.

Yep, noted when installed & we were told they'd be removed.......

There are two 20mph signs - one by The Bull carpark, the second outside the museum - that face traffic in both directions. Anyone spot the obvious flaw?
