Unusual English-only Give Way sign at a junction in Gwynedd, North Wales
Most road signs in this area are in Welsh and English, such as this one http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5248698 150 metres behind the camera.
The location is southernmost Gwynedd, at the A487/A493 junction near Pont ar Ddyfi http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5248550 which carries the A487 into Powys and mid Wales, north of Machynlleth.

Southeast end/start of the A493 north of Machynlleth
Viewed from the A487. The broken white lines from left to right mark the southeast end/start of the A493.
The Sabre website states that the A493 forms the long-way-round between Dolgellau and Machynlleth,
following the coast rather than taking the direct route over the hills. It extends for 53.6km (33.3 miles).
Pen-y-bont Cottages http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5248645 are on the right. Pont ar Ddyfi http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5248550 is just out of shot on the left.

Road signs on Pont ar Ddyfi
The bottom sign indicates that this is part of the route of the Wales Coast Path. However, no provision is made for walkers wishing to follow the route across the bridge, it being too narrow for modern traffic and a dangerous place to be. The repaired parapet is testament to the multitude of vehicle strikes on the bridge. It was scheduled for replacement years ago but we are still waiting.
"Sorry, budget cuts etc. etc.
Now, about this £1.1 billion M4 relief road..."

West side of Grade II Listed Pont ar Ddyfi north of Machynlleth
The bridge carries the A487 over the river. The A493 junction is on the far side of the bridge. Cadw records that the 5-arch rubble bridge was built in 1533, repaired in 1681, rebuilt in 1805. Grade II (star) listed in 1952.
The midpoint of the River Dovey (Afon Dyfi in Welsh) here forms the boundary between Powys (this side) and Gwynedd. If regional boundaries match county boundaries, the camera is near the northern edge of Mid Wales. The far end of the bridge is near the southern edge of North Wales.

A single point of failure
Pont ar Ddyfi was closed for some 3 hours whilst tree debris was removed from the river. Some large tree trunks had been carried down from upstream and were riding against the bridge arches with the potential to cause considerable damage.
