Fey!

Lough Atalia Road will be closed from 7pm tonight to 6am tomorrow; I saw it on one of the councils lit up notices earlier.

Could it be anything to do with that?

Mrs OBumble

OP, try describing the sign using old-fashioned words.

What colour is it? What's on it? What's it attached to?

(My guess is that it's one of the "CP 4" style signs that appeared aroud the docks area shortly before the emergency response exercise earlier this year. But that's a guess based soley on my crystal-ball's view of what was in your head. Could be quite wrong.)

It's announcing Sandra & Lloyd's divorce

Apologies about all that I was trying to attach via my iPhone on the mobile site but wouldn't work ! Anyhow mr.obumble somehow predicted the picture !!! Sorry for the suspense everyone ! So could someone explain the reason behind the sign and what cp4 stands for ? Sorry again for the wait !

Could be announcing Mrs OBumbles sex change?

Its a pilot scheme from the Corpo to keep drivers stuck in traffic up to date with with Premier League scores.
They're off their heads if they think Crystal Palace would beat Robin Van Persie 4-2 though

im guessing command post. Probably to do with the oil tanks.

biko

The chaps in the Emergency Services forum would know.

Its to do with the major emergency plan for the city.

But what does it mean or stand for?

Mrs OBumble

RVP = rendevous point
CP = control point

If you want to know more about what they mean, suggest volunteering with your local Civil Defence organisation, they'll give you training.

its probably part of the emergency plan for an incident either at the docks or the fuel tanks depot.

Yep. There was a training exersize recently at the docks, Lough Atalia was closed off, and I guess this point was established for the Emergency teams.

thesandeman

There's another one at the other end of the docks at the Dun Angus/Padraigs corner. Think it says CP6 with another sign underneath it.

Mrs OBumble

Yeah, they are at various places around the docks.

If that's CP6, then you can pretty much guarantee that there are CP1 ... CP5 around. Possibly even a map of 'em all buried deep in the council's website.

(OT: "Padraig's Corner" has a nice ring to it. Perhaps they should extend the footpath there, and put up a statue of himsellf!)

thesandeman

Good idea! Must get on to Padraig Conneely. He might think the statue will be of himself and push it through :-)

VIP area?
Strangely enough I noticed earlier that the sign that was under the CP6 one has now been moved above it and is painted yellow. Maybe someone hit their head or something. Think it says something about parking.

Are they finally preparing for Zombies?

biko

Galway isn't exactly Atlanta but one could hope.

This?

Had a proper look yesterday and that sign is really weird. It's actually green but looks yellow when darkness sets in. The image on it seems to be of an adult running with two children and the text is Mon-Fri 9-6..
The CP6 bit is still there.
I don't drive so maybe it is some kind of an official sign but it makes absolutely no sense to me.

Like the original poster I still hav'nt figured how to put up pics :-(

JustAThought

I had the loan of an android & it was a totally different & super easy experience! They even had a single button for it-and strike through!!! I don't know either.
i-useless !
Y -mystery signs look similar to the council rubbish they put up in Dublin & were forced to take back down again because they were confusing drivers & distracting them from the road!!!

Mrs OBumble

I have an old Android .. don't have a post-photo button on touch though. Was there for a few days, but disappeared. So it's not OS specific.

I still remember the old-fashioned way of loading photos though, will try to grab a snap of it.

CP 12 has now appeared outside the smoking area of the House Hotel.
It's about fifteen yards from CP 6 so I don't know where CPs 7-11 have got to?
