Warning notices at the southern end of a private road near Trefil
The road ahead is closed to unauthorised cars, lorries and motorbikes because it is a private road and bridleway. The upper notice states that anyone using an unauthorised vehicle on the private road (or adjacent land) is liable to have the vehicle confiscated by the police. A bridleway means that walkers, horse riders or anyone leading a horse can use this road. I don't know whether or not it is legal for cyclists to ride here.
The lower notice shows No Tipping. Dump and you'll be dumped on. Flytipping fines can be up to £30,000.
