Christmas Quiz

Postby Horse » Mon Dec 26, 2022 11:25 am

This image taken from a LinkedIn post. Subsequently, I've been told it was several years ago.

These two from the current Google Streetview.

So, the quiz aspects are:
1. Which way would you have gone (bearing in mind the various conflicting signs)?
2. How enforceable would the 'no entry' have been if both signs were bagged?
Your 'standard' is how you drive alone, not how you drive during a test.

If anyone's on a desktop (I'm using mobile), I'd be interested to know the date of the current Streetview image set. And if you're really keen, go back through the historic versions to see when it changed and whether the poor paint was there for long.

I'll have a look later.

NB. You can go back in time on a mobile now. There,s a link at the bottom of the street view page when in Google Maps.

It all went pear shaped between October 2018 and May 2019 where yellow right turn diversion signs appeared, the no entries bagged and the paint/arrows amended/burnt off/reapplied. A right (or left :) ) mess!

June 2022? There's a diversion sign only visible if you move forward a bit (in distance/time). Not sure why they'd cover the No Entry signs though.
I'd go the same direction as everyone else - it's London.

Ah - excellent, thanks!

So what about the white arrow with a blue background circular sign on the right hand side? That means one-way doesn't it? I'm confused.

Could be tricky, what with traffic (lorry and car facing right) London driving is getting more and more hazardous, I tend to use TomTom BUT have fallen foul and turned right as instructed into a bus only lane £65 the poorer. :flail: What with congestion charge and ULEZ imminent time to give up the challenge. :roll:
