Signs repeat the message for motorists
TWO Give Way warnings – identical and only a foot apart – drive home the message for motorists on a city street.
The signs at the bottom of Benfield Street, in Heywood, near Manchester, were enough to make drivers do a double-take yesterday.
But anyone thinking they had blurred vision did not need a trip to the opticians.
The new sign – the one in front and slightly to the right – is a replacement for the old version after a deal agreed between the local authority and an energy supplier.
A spokesman for Rochdale Council said: “There is currently a large scale replacement of illuminated signage happening at the moment and inevitably there are short periods of time where signs are waiting to be connected or disconnected to electricity sources.
“The photographer in this case amusingly managed to get a snap before the old sign was disconnected and removed.”
