New motorway signs up already...

Zoney · 2009-07-14 18:39:38

Here's one for the M20, at the Dell roundabout at the beginning of the spur for J2 of the N20/M20 (Google Maps link - r'bout marked "Ballycummin"): Every other new pole was empty and none of the other old signs have been removed.

In fact, would anyone be so good as to save me some time and petrol and tell me if the R639 between Mitchelstown and Fermoy has been re-signed?

I dunno, I'm thinking I might actually catch a bus instead, I'm getting tired of driving.

Why do you ask, thinking about meeting up for a pint at an increasingly desperate Corbett Court?

Was thinking of it; then I decided to head up to Cullahill for a gawk.

Nice to see some tosser's Yes campaign posters have also been illegally attached to it. In Germany the Autobahnpolizei would have a thing or three to say about that sort of carry on! Wonder will the Guards do anything? :rolleyes:

The entire M8 from Glanmire to Cahir is festooned with them - sign poles for ADS, countdowns, etc., are emblazoned with multiple posters. Quite a hazard in places methinks.

As it is illegal to stop on a motorway, could these signs be used as evidence of stopping.

The fixing of the signs themselves is an offence in its own right. As is stopping on the motorway, as is being a pedestrian (ie, leaving your stationary vehicle without good cause) on the motorway. Who' name is on those pics? I'd like to forward a mail to Joe Duffy and ask him to call the politician/party responsible for an answer.
