Understood all of them - even if you've not bothered to flick through a highway code they are pretty self explanatory :confused:

Mucky_Pup · 21 Oct 2010 at 12:41

Shame lots of people can't recognise and abide by some of the easier ones like; NSL, Use Both Lanes, and Merge in Turn :rolleyes:

I don't understand the first one, the one that looks like an explosion out the back of the motor.

Morba · 21 Oct 2010 at 12:43

1st one was the only one that I have never seen on the road before!

So you have seen ones with the frogs and the tanks?!

It means vehicles carrying explosives are prohibited. In before the smartass comments: There are many circumstances where it is illegal to carry explosives.

Yes? Tank ones are found near army bases. Drove past one in Bovingdon a few months ago.

Eddie · 21 Oct 2010 at 12:48

The tank one is definitely my favourite road sign but never once have I seen a tank when I see that sign.

tigerstyle · 21 Oct 2010 at 12:50

yes and yes (to frongs and tanks)

Also by jove, that site is almost as crap as the MSN today photo gallerys, navigates like treacle, oh its yahoo :rolleyes:

Most of them I understood. The carrying explosives one was new to me and I struggled to think of anything beyond a blonde wig on top of a car. I thought the frogs would be just "watch out: frogs" rather than "Migratory toad crossing".

Wicksta · 21 Oct 2010 at 12:57

The 1st one is the only one I've never seen as well, most of the others are very common and I could probably provide a streetview of most of them within a 10 mile radius of my house.

and where in this country have you seen this?

thepeganator · 21 Oct 2010 at 12:59

Tank ones are all over the place near me (Salisbury plane).

Still, in 10 years, only ever saw one tank crossing.

"Be wary of old bangers operating in this area"

I'm sure I've seen the tank one around one of the army bases either in winchester or up near preston.

edit: ah salisbury have them also, used to drive past the base their often also!

Vonhelmet · 21 Oct 2010 at 13:02

Recognised and understood all bar that "no carrying explosives" one, which seems a bit weird.

bledd · 21 Oct 2010 at 13:06

Don't think I've seen the weird T one before, or the horse & cart

ins0mn1ac · 21 Oct 2010 at 13:07

Only recently passed my test so yeah I know of them all, haven't seen hardly any of them out and about though! the no vehicles carrying explosives one always looks like a parachute behind a car to me.

At the entrance to certain tunnels.

Do you stop and wait for the toads to cross, or do a u-turn?

If you drive really slowly do they just hop out the way? Do they have a toad with a lollypop stick? Share your toad experiences Keates!
