Looking north along Pixham Lane near Pixham Sports ground. The pinchpoint here was one of a number of measures introduced in the early 2000s in an attempt to control speed along the lane, following the removal of an experimental road closure in early 2003 which (predictably) caused traffic chaos over a large area. The sign here is a replacement in May 2021 of the previous one which had apparently been damaged - however, whereas the previous one was the correct one for "Priority over oncoming vehicles", the replacement uses the one appropriate to opposing traffic signifying "Give way to oncoming vehicles", but turned upside down, which is both incorrect and confusing from a distance. Surrey County Council have been informed of the issue, which hopefully will be corrected. See Image for a close up of the sign and Image for the corresponding (correct) sign for southbound traffic. Postscript: Within a week of the incorrect sign being reported to Surrey County Council, it was replaced with the correct version (see Image).

Incorrect road sign in Pixham Lane. The pinchpoint here was one of a number of measures introduced in the early 2000s in an attempt to control speed along the lane, following the removal of an experimental road closure in early 2003 which (predictably) caused traffic chaos over a large area. The sign here is a replacement in May 2021 of the previous one which had apparently been damaged - however, whereas the previous one was the correct one for "Priority over oncoming vehicles" (a blue rectangle with a white upwards arrow and red downwards arrow), the replacement uses the one appropriate to opposing traffic signifying "Give way to oncoming vehicles", but turned upside down, which is both incorrect and confusing from a distance. Surrey County Council have been informed of the issue, which hopefully will be corrected. See Image for a wider view and Image for the corresponding (correct) sign for southbound traffic.
