RMweb Premium martin_wynne Posted September 26, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 26, 2021 Not very whacky, but interesting.

Not a bad idea as such but these things should be determined at a national (or international) level. As it is, just looks like an invitation for the good folk the other side of the Tamar to devise a scheme using those colours transposed. 2 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium TheQ Posted September 27, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2021 So what's wrong with this sign? The Blue one at the bottom... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium TheQ Posted September 27, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2021 Well the Norfolk Broads are not a National park, Who says so? HMG says so, the Broads park area is set up on a different basis to the National Parks. So the Broads Authority fought a long legal battle and eventually found a judge who gave them the permission to use the name "National Park" in advertising only. So that bring us to the second point, IF they are only allowed use it for advertising / pointing to the attraction, then the law says the signs should have a brown background as mentioned in post back.. So the signs are wrong / illegal on two points.. 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pair of nice points, if you will excuse my saying so. One often finds non-compliant signs at motorway service stations, which in my view is a bad thing. The standards for signage exist for a reason: to convey clear, simple, consistent information to road users. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Q, If anyone needs the supposed authority that calls itself HMG to tell them whether a piece of the earth is attractive or not then the colour of the sign along with what is written upon it does become somewhat academic.

The standards for signage exist for a reason: to convey clear, simple, consistent information to road users. Such signage needs to be consistent for IMPORTANT stuff, such as for road navigation. But for tourist/eating place information, once you're off the main road, that is hardly critical. As for the signage depicting the suitability of roads for different types of vehicles, does appear to have merit, but is just a thinish coloured border enough? Whatever is decided on, it really does need to be a national standard. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbo. There is a defined procedure to go through to attain National Park status. However the Broads were not created in the usual way. They were created by a separate Act of Parliament passed in 1988 and have been given the same powers as the normal National Parks. They are generally considered to be a National Park, the eleventh in datal order of the 13 in England. Look on the National Parks website, the Broads are there with all the others 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
