wing-nut:
Roadworks signs were set up after the gantry, nothing before.
That’s one reason I have a dashcam so if they try something like that, you’ve got a bit of backup to show it would be dangerous not to go under the X.
Saw one the other day on the M6 where the gantry signs were set to 1 lane open, everything else X’s. Except the end of closure was directly before the actual roadworks people! Bet they were confused.
Someone screwed up and doesn’t seem to be a one off.
