New Salisbury Avenue signposted cycle route

A sign has been installed at the Barking end of Salisbury Avenue, indicating a cycle route to Upney Station. There's a sign at the Upney ebd too, indicating 'Barking', but I'm not sure how visible it is from Upney Lane.

The problem is that the LCN signs in Upney Lane are based on the principle of which way to go to certain places using LC routes. According to them, the route to East Ham is not via Salisbury Avenue, but via Faircross.

Similarly the route to Romford goes in the other direction down Upney Lane. It's all very well signposting where network routes go if they go their directly, but no-one is going to go to Romford by the LCN route if it takes them miles out of the way as well as down main roads.
