Traffic signs of Parwich #5
Posted in Roads on Thursday April 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Here’s another junction sign, warning drivers entering the village on the main road that traffic might be pulling out from Smithy Close on the left hand side. Since Smithy Close is a relatively small cul-de-sac, is this junction sufficiently busy and/or hazardous to justify such a sign?
Many happy returns to Tony!

There is only one sign in the village indicating off-street parking – and it’s here, opposite the entrance to Blanche Meadow Farm. Is this area correctly signed? Are there any other off-street parking areas in Parwich which should be similarly signed? Do we even need a designated parking area? Or will the construction of the [...]

Some people like traffic signs. Parwich can be a confusing place for drivers who haven’t been here before: there are tricky bends, dead ends and narrow roads to negotiate, and there’s always the danger of encountering a young child or a household pet around the next corner. If our traffic signs prevent even one serious [...]
