This ('Chepstow A466') being slightly unusual in that it says '2m' rather than the usual '1m', due to the bridge being in the way. ;-)

This is my proposed renumbering of the Manchester motorways, which will end the 2 part M62 situation. See 'Comments' on this page for more details.
[NOTE: This was originally designed before M62 J8 was opened at Burtonwood Services]

'But it's green and says 'A20'!', I hear you say. Ah, but 'tis an old sign, the road is now the B2011 and 'A2033' should now read 'A260'.

The A290 Canterbury-Whitstable road runs through the Westgate, built centuries ago and not really designed for road vehicles! Westbound traffic goes around, eastbound traffic goes through.

Here's the TOTSO of Canterbury Road - it continues to the right, and behind. Black Bull Road is to the left, although both Black Bull Road and Canterbury Road are part of the A259.

Canterbury Road, Folkestone - part of the A259. Seen from just outside my house.

There's something off about this sign, something not quite white.....er, right.

And just to prove it's not a one off - here's another sign at the same junction. Whoops!

Me in front of the former A5/A6 cannon junction in St Albans. I'm standing in Zone 6, across the road is Zone 5, and further right is Zone 4.

This map shows the boundaries between the road numbering zones 1-5 in London - unlike in Edinburgh, where zones 1,6, 7 and 9 all meet at one point, it's not so simple here!

The A2050 heading into Canterbury from the A2 at Bridge. The former A2, this road is usually a fast, easy way to enter the city.

A (rather blurry, sorry) photo of an old signpost on the B2068 in Kent.

This sign was replaced with a patch - saying exactly the same thing! You can see the original text on either side of the patch.

This is fairly unusual. It's a sign for a footpath, for pedestians, yet is green and has mileages. Located in Capel-le-Ferne, Kent.

Well, I thought it looked unusual. :-) It's built into a stone support. Located on the B2011 Dover Hill, Folkestone.

Located at the University of Kent, Canterbury, where delivery traffic meets Parkwood Road.

This sign amuses me. On one hand it appears to cyclists where to ride, on the other it says Cyclists Dismount..... ;-) (It's really telling cyclists where the cycle lanes are). Note that they now have to dismount every day of the week instead of just Mon-Sat.

This celebrates the opening of the Severn Bridge (M4, now M48) in 1966.
