Has anybody else noticed all the overhead gantry signs?
They seem to be trying to convey information/advice. First it was don’t use your mobile, then drink/drive warnings and now…
Don’t hog the middle lane
What would you like to see on them
Personally -
Don’t harrass truckers
Give way to truck drivers
Some how I don’t think I will ever see them
Come on, what’s your choice?

I like the ones that say ‘slow congestion’ when your doing 1 mph anyway and have been for the last 5 miles.
i think the next one down the road should say 'No ■■■■ sherlock"
I’m waiting to see what goes up when they have an anti-drug campaign.
Keep Off The Grass
Look a bit further foreward than the front of your bonnet.
How about
Free beer and blondes

Maybe the words to the song we should all be singing whilst sitting in the jam the signs should have warned us about 5 miles before we hit it
I like the way the suppoesed “Thelwall Viaduct Information” one is never on. Probaly cos everyone knows - the M6 is the new M25! And Thelwall is always gridlocked
I would love to hack into the computer that controls these signs and post random messages.

Something relavent, accurate & in date would help.
The best one was a sign warning of congestion between all the junctions I had just passed.
So I leave the congestion behind before getting warned about it, pratts.

Sorry, but you KNEW that one wouldn’t last!!! L.
The most common one Ive seen is “Animals in Road”
But really a message targeted at the majority of drivers like “Don’t Pick Your Nose” you are on camera
They could also have, “Sorry mate, Didn’t see you”
What about
VOSA OPERATING AFTER NEXT JUNCTION
Then after next off slip after all the cowboys have left the M/way
ONLY JOKING

I like the ones that say FOG ,when you can’t see 3 feet in front of you?
Or can we have, HGV services only .
Ken.
Or the ones that still say FOG when you can see for miles in front of you and there isn’t a cloud in the sky.
