Every country has its own conventions about road signage and that’s as true of the UK as anywhere else. Most of the time the meaning of the signs is clear and the information or warning useful. Here's a small collection of my favourite signs.
 |
| This just means that you've come to the end of a posted speed limit and the speed reverts to the normal limit for the type of road you're on, i.e. 70 mph on a motorway, 60 mph on other roads outside built-up areas or 30 mph in built-up areas. That's a lot if information for one sign! |
 |
| This sign tells you to be careful of Evel Knievel wannabes jumping motorcycles over cars on the road. |
 |
| Low Flying Aircraft DUCK!!! |
 |
| You don't want to see this sign in January. |
 |
| The Magic Roundabout is in Swindon, Wiltshire. I can testify from personal experience that it is indeed scary |
 |
| The sign above is the UK Slippery Road sign; the one below is the US version. Please note that in the UK, your wheels will cross each other when you skid. And the US one has a driver in it! |
