BAD SIGN

Drivers baffled by awkward road error – but can you spot what’s wrong?

AN upside -down give-way road marking has been bewildering motorists and local residents alike.

Winci Tam spotted the incorrectly painted sign on Kendal Way at its junction with Milton Road in Cambridge last week.

Ms Tam said at first she checked the Highway Code in case it was a new instruction, but she was "amused" to discover that it was just "topsy-turvy".

The Greater Cambridge Partnership, which is overseeing work along Milton Road, has now apologised and repainted it the right way round.

But Ms Tam added she was not sure the amended version was any better and it looked like "a poor, quick fix"- with the previous triangle being covered with black paint.

A spokesman for the Greater Cambridge Partnership has apologised for any inconvenience caused by the wayward give-way road marking.
