Signage

What does the council say in response to concerns about inadequate signage?

The council is limited in the signage it is able to erect on the highway, which is stipulated under guidance issued by DfT. This limits the options we have for how we present the restrictions that are in place. The signage we are enforcing against is compliant with these guidelines. It has been brought to our attention that some of the optional advance directional signage is not fully compliant.

This will be corrected in due course, however it should be noted that officers have deviated from the strict wording of the restrictions in order to help make the change as clear as possible rather than any attempt to mislead or confuse. Signage as part of these trials, is kept under review.

With regards to the blue badge symbols on the signage at the entrance to Turnham Green Terrace, how does the Council justify and continue giving illegal penalties, given the incorrect signposting for access, and poor signage for loading and disabled parking, in accordance with your own traffic order?

The signage for this scheme is being kept under review.  It is currently suspended.
