  1. As a Sign Nerd, it's very nice to see that the Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland has gone with the Scottish model for bilingual traffic signs, and is using colour to differentiate languages. The initial mockups used italics (in the wrong typeface!) for the Irish text instead, which is more difficult to read and also gives the feeling of Irish being secondary to the English.

  2. This was a sign I'd never seen before. We ignored it. Reclaim the streets!

    When you want to sell your soul to the devil, it's important to be sure you're at the right place.

  5. So someone posted their favorite sign over on Mastodon, and I replied with what is my favorite sign, the 'No Straight' sign.

    First time I saw this was on a new intersection where one side is a highway ramp, and the other a two-way road, apparently 'Do Not Enter' signs weren't enough, so they put one of these up. Honestly, I'm surprised to know its a standard, Missouri isn't exactly known for sticking to standards, whether its abbreviations like LA for lane, or the non-standard all text signs on the road to my house announcing the road closure ahead and the truck ban on it.

  6. CW: Nzpol. Road signage or political brainwash.

    An observation made while driving through some Manawatu and Taranaki towns, is a biggish blue sign at the edge of a town with a National MPs fisogg( face) on a NAT Party emblem. They may be everywhere, but here is where I am at present.
    One exclaimed "Welcome to***********"
    Another pleaded "Drive Safely"
    I don't feel any real comfort in being told their concerns for me entering what is I assume their representative district.
    In fact it irritates me.
    Is this infact allowed?
    Roadside billboards of political party members should be reserved for the lead up canvassing period of an election. We aren't in that period yet ( but bring it on!) so somebody needs to get these Blueboys out of my face!
    If there are more appearing around the nation, it would appear to me that it's a deliberate tactic by that party to play sly tricks on the populace. "Look at me. I'm a good guy" So "Keep me and mine in mind"
    I'd rather see a cutout of a policeman waving hello.
