Given the time I spend on the road, I regularly come across some strange or even, in some cases, ridiculously placed road signs or markings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For example, I recently noticed two very visible 20mph signs located at the entrance to a “road” which stretched no more than thirty feet! \u00a0Whilst I can fully appreciate that in order to comply with the laws concerning road signs & markings that such signs need to be displayed, I personally feel that occasionally common sense should prevail.<\/p>\n

Essentially, some signs or markings are simply not necessary.<\/p>\n

I stumbled upon a small news article on MSN News recently which highlighted what is thought to be the UK’s smallest (and in my opinion most ridiculous) parking restriction: a nine-inch long double-yellow line!<\/p>\n

Crazy!<\/p>\n

Unless the Borrowers are on a family outing and decide to illegally park, this particular road marking is quite frankly bordering on the ridiculous!<\/p>\n

I’m sure that, one day, common sense will prevail (fingers crossed, eh!).<\/p>\n
