This photo is a bit small to really get my point, but the bonehead that erected it got it the wrong way around. The cyclepath is on the right and the pedestrian path is on the left.Duh!
I guess we aren't paying our local council wallah's enough. Or should I make that gallah's instead? It's pretty hard to screw it up when 10 metres away, the type of pathway is painted on the ground in 3 foot high pictures.
The second photo shows the reverse angle - they got it totally wrong both ways.
To cap it off, you then have signs positioned like this one - halfway behind a tree.It's no wonder most pedestrians amble around the local cycleways without a care in the world.
My observation is that when people are walking, they switch off looking at signs. Try driving somewhere without looking at the signs - which lane to be in, how fast to drive, street names, Stop signs, traffic lights etc. It amazes me that as soon as people strap on the trainers, they put on sign-blinkers as well.
