Bottom of West Bank, Winster
The magical moving roadsigns (L)Sign as first erected 14 Aug 2015 In this
position a significant reduction of HGVs was observed. (R)16.6.16
DCC Highways stated at a site meeting on 7.10.15 that all possible
locations for this sign had been explored and the original position was the only
one viable.
Following lobbying (and against the majority wish) DCC Highways have moved the
sign (and the street sign which has been
in position for 30+ years) to the left.
Apparently "because the wall is listed".
SPOT THE HGV SIGN!
