Left wondering

To continue our investigation into motorway road signs, Jonathan McColl tells us of the automatic signs of the A9. ‘When I complained about them I was told they were controlled from Glasgow, 200 miles south of me.’
This leads to some exciting information: ‘They are built with really powerful lights that cut through the densest fog when it warns of fog, and I can even read them during quite heavy snowfalls when it warns that low temperatures are forecast,’ he says.
‘My favourite one near Inverness tells me all summer in six languages to drive on the left, even though it is a dual carriageway and you can only read it if you are already on the correct side.’
