The local council did not give these poles a reprieve, instead much of north Surrey sloshed grey paint on the stripy poles which is now beginning to wear off exposing the original baked on stripes. Yellow stripes were reserved for prohibition signs and extremely rare now as the great majority were the much commoner black and white stripes for warning and direction signs.
