Money-grabbing Councils #1
There is an article in the Daily Mail about a street in Camden which has so many roadsigns it confuses motorists (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1392006/Revealed-The-5m-raised-camera-Britain-s-baffling-road.html). The really annoying thing about this story is that before all the roadsigns, there was a bollard and traffic lights, which seemed to work fine. Now they've removed them and put up so many restriction signs, that it catches out on average 800 motorists per month (over 25 per day). The council even have the cheek to say "The signs stating the restrictions are clear to motorists". Well obviously they're not, if 1 person an hour is caught out by them. If they actually cared about traffic management, they would think "Obviously this isn't working, well have to simplify the system". However, the fact that they haven't shows that they are motivated not by serving the people, but by greed.
