Sign error

B&D council have installed an information sign in Ripple Road to reinforce the no motor vehicles signs that many motorists seem ignorant of. The problem is the new sign is wrong. It says "no vehicles beyond this point", but pedal cycles are vehicles and there are no restrictions on them here.

The error could give the wrong impression that pedal cycles are not vehicles, or that cycling beyond that point would be an infringement.

Poor permeabilty continues

Going down Fleet Road southbound I notice there are now “no through road except buses” signs before the “no entry except buses” signs are reached at Jenkins Lane. I don’t know whether these are additional to or replacement for the previous no entry signs, but either is bad.  As my thousands of regular readers will know I have bought up the issue of the restriction on cyclists here several times over several years. I don’t know why it persists and regard it as a clear indication of lack of consideration for cycling.
