ThisIsLondon claims:
Country roads are being ruined by the 'clutter' of confusing road-signs and traffic calming measures that are putting lives at risk, experts have warned.
It is bringing a 'nightmare' of urban sprawl to once delightful villages.
Motoring groups and environmental campaigners have joined forces to urge the Government to rid rural lanes of unnecessary signs, speed-bumps, and other 'street furniture' that takes drivers' attention off the road.
The spread of signs is also proving an eyesore to country lovers by filling once idyllic rural roads with masses of painted warnings, chicanes, bumps, and 'build-outs' that are completely out of keeping with their surroundings.
Now the RAC Foundation and the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England are demanding councils carry out 'clutter audits' of the road- signs in their area - and remove those which are unnecessary, dangerous or simply an eyesore.
Apparently they haven't done any comparisons with any other island nation, say halfway round the world...
Oh, and at low speed, I can hump for at least a mile:biggrin2:
