A not yet Royal road sign, Bath Road, Royal Wootton Bassett
The honour bestowed upon Wootton Bassett by Queen Elizabeth II in 2011 was a grant of royal patronage in recognition of the town's role in early 21st century military funeral repatriations.
Many names on display in the town now show Royal Wootton Bassett. Some do not yet. One example is this sign alongside Bath Road at the edge of Skew Bridge. It appears to be a town boundary sign but its main purpose is to mark the reduction in the speed limit from 50mph to 30mph. A grander sign http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3329205 several hundred metres behind the camera shows the changed name, and is presumably located at or near the town boundary.

NE end of Skew Bridge, Royal Wootton Bassett
Skew Bridge is actually two bridges about 50 metres apart. The bridge ahead carries the A3102 Bath Road over the railway to and from South Wales via Bristol Parkway. The other bridge carries the railway to and from Bristol via Chippenham and Bath. The location is a few hundred metres west of the railway
junction. At the points where the road passes over, the South Wales line is orientated NW-SE
whereas the other tracks are orientated WNW-ESE hence the name Skew Bridge.
