I posted a while back about the money wasted on the new style collapsible sign posts; a rash of new signs has sprouted up on the sides of the A303 through Wiltshire, Dorset and Somerset.... dozens of them, scores of them. They carry no message that can be read at present but are cunningly designed to be opened up to display a message when the time is ripe.
The road is already well sign posted, directions, road numbers and miles to various places en-route are listed quite adequately.... more warnings of revenue cameras than you can shake a fist at; there are even signs that advise that you should take a break as tiredness kills.
So what is on these ?
My best guess is some government nannying;
perhaps
Buses use this road ! .... are you wearing clean underwear ?
your own suggestions are welcome.
Students of design will note that the collapsible posts will do just that, collapse..... slowing the vehicle enough to drop the nose into the pit they have dug for the concrete foundation. The car should then flip up and over and come to rest embedded on the tree behind it, clever !

My guess is that they will garnished in the spring next year with "Vote Labour - You Know it makes sense"
"Taking photographs of any structure on this highway is an offence under the Terrorism (Anything We Hadn't Thought Of) Act 2009 punishable by up to five years' imprisonment or a fine of £10,000."
"Notice To Travellers: Recycling Facilities Are Available In Every Field. Please Ensure Any Livestock Is Removed Before Caravans Are Parked. In The Event Of Harrassment By Landowners Please Call The Police Hotline"
That sign would have been vandalized almost immediately in America. And sadly...it would all be spelled wrong...

Been missing you Papa Haddock!
In Kent they come complete with a little notice saying "This sign is not in use" - in case we thought we had suddenly gone colour blind.
