Over the rainbow, under the bridge

I love the temporary signs - one where I had travelled for a distance down a road and turned a sharp curve in it only to face a very sudden 'Road Closed' sign. Then had to turn in a narrow road with other cars up my jacksy who had also been caught out by it.

Why the hell did they not put up a diversion sign up the road and not have you driving all that way and causing mayhem as loads of drivers have to turn around and find an alternative route?

"Motorway matrix signs that say 40 - when have you ever been able to do 40 when you see one if them ffs"

Or they say 40 debris in road and then there is nothing for miles.

Just beat me!

As that annoys me when there is nothing and you are looking for something instead of concentrating!

In the Sun today they have loads of these signs .

The matrix signs get set to a low speed in the theory that everyone will slow down to that speed and it allows the traffic ahead to clear, so if you see nothing it has worked

They don't work - I keep to speed unless the traffic ahead has slowed.

"Bend in the Road"

That's just plain dangerous!

Whilst leaning over you're highly likely to get a truck or a boy racer up your arse!!!

If you've ever been buzzed by a Tornado in the Scottish Highlands you'll know they get very low indeed!

great minds and all that.

There is a sign on the way in to Portishead that warns of Low Flying Owls.

There is a Welcome to Torquay sign just outside the town.. it should say ' Abandon hope all ye who enter here'

"how about a road sign directing you to ( secret nuclear bunker)"

There's one of them right near the Harlow junction on the M11. Just turn towards North Weald. You'll find it. It says - in very, VERY big letters..... SECRET NUCLEAR BUNKER - THIS WAY... and is followed by a conveniently placed direction arrow.
