Bashful road signs - an update

I have previously mentioned on Muppet a strange phenomenon that I have encountered on my way into work, the coy A40 road sign.

True to my word, I hadn't noticed that the wrappings had in fact come off until this morning, although that may have been something to do with the fact I was looking at a bloke in a Jensen Interceptor...ahem...I digress, the binbags have been removed and behold as they blinkingly enter the morning greyness for (possibly) the first time: three 50mph signs.

It was just as I thought. It's a travesty.

Although it would appear my fellow commuters didn't see the signs either as they zipped past at 70mph.

And I have to admit the signs don't appear to have made any difference to the flow of traffic but my prophecy of a speed camera or speed trap nearby has as yet, not come to fruition. Give it time.

I still would have much preferred a cheery morning greeting sign as I ambled past.
