Misleading road sign on A659 Harewood Road, Collingham for right turn to Leeds Rd A58.
Not reported to council
Seen in August 2013, the sign shows drivers travelling East into Collingham that they can turn right onto the A58 westwards to Leeds. As can be seen in the "junction" picture, that is not possible, given the Go Left sign and the two No Entry signs. Instead, drivers must before that junction turn right onto Mill Lane and round Tesco, then turn right onto the A58. I have produced a mock-up of a road sign which would show the correct route. Of course, it may not conform to standard signage conventions, but it may give you the idea and save you a diversion or U-turn.

In October 2023 I received a reply from the Senior Traffic Engineer of Leeds City Council, who said: "Thank you for your below correspondence on the signage on the A659, you are indeed correct and this signage is not clear and as such I will arrange for a technician to produce an new sign similar to how you have suggested, but conforming to the Traffic Signs Rules & General Directions 2016". As I haven't been in that vicinity since, I don't know whether or how soon such a replacement sign has appeared.
