LORRY DRIVERS: PLEASE IGNORE THIS BRIGG SIGN BUT TAKE NOTE OF NEXT ONE YOU SEE


Brigg Blog wonders how many lorry drivers have followed the instructions given to them by this sign on Bigby Road and taken the indicated diversion....down residential St Helen's Road (next turn on the right).
Much closer to the Monument roundabout there's an identical sign telling drivers to take the third exit and head off down Wrawby Road, on the A18. Which leaves us pondering why the one pictured here needs to be there. How about avoiding any possible confusion by taking it down?
St Helen's Road is often congested with parked cars and is not very wide.
This A1084 diversion is in place because of the railway bridge on the A18 at Melton Ross being replaced over a long period of time.

.....apart from that, Nige....have you noticed how dirty the road signs are about Brigg?

But, perhaps the dirtiest sign is the one near the steelworks on Mortal Ash....it's almost a black triangle...

In these days of economic austerity, cleaning road signs is not a priority, but perhaps some folks could be deployed every decade, or so to give them a a wash and brush-up.
