551:"Despite its significant advantages the new gantry signage has caused confusion because the downward arrows over the left traffic lanes seem to indicate to drivers that they should pull out into the right lane if they wish to continue on the motorway or dual carriageway, breaking the keep left rule. In July 2007, some of the gantry signage on the M50 between Junctions 13-17 was replaced with signage in the "old" style, based on UK gantry signs. This is likely to mean that the new style signage will be replaced in other cases where it used also."

This includes the so called UK (and NZ) 'Open Road Sign' - contracted by GB as meaning "END OF ALL LOCAL PROHIBITIONS IMPOSED ON MOVING VEHICLES", hardly "open road limit". The convention allows very similar designs, such as with or without a border or rim, and allows for a series of parted diagonal

If it does however, and accepts the meaning, it CAN choose to impose, as part of "License
Conditions" a speed limit maximum for certain categories of drivers, applicable when they in turn pass the sign, such as for an L-plater (Learner driver) or P-Plater (Provisional/s), or for HEAVY vehicles and

This, while true officially and generally observed, is ignored in some Border areas (along with paying road tax and registering your vehicle in this State). Hence, the original signs (on the Irish side of the Border)can be seen just before you cross the Border, in some cases immediately after new

The world *must* have uniformity of design and meaning with its primary road signage. Safety is not improved in international traffic when individual countries, their respective road authorities, act to give 'different meaning' to an international road traffic sign to their residents, to that

section 6.13. I believe that the statement in the artice that "height restriction signs are the only ones still to use imperial measurements as of 2011" needs updating, but better that it be done by someone who actually lives in the country, not me!
285:'There are no longer any "end of speed limit" signs in Ireland, the normal speed limit merely being posted at the end of local restrictions. Prior to metrication in 2005, "end of speed limit" signs were a white circle with black diagonal line.'

IF States
Parties, or their jurisdictions, cannot come to terms with having a length of road without an absolute speed limit, for whatever reason or reasons, then it must NOT use the particular sign, nor it's sister sign, the C,17b I might

The answer is for GB and The
Republic of Ireland to initiate REMOVAL of the subject sign from their road network, and legislation, UNLESS it accepts the UN Convention meaning as contracted, for the length of road to which it is fixed.

The sign in question is in fact an international road traffic sign, its ultimate legal meaning and interpretation is with the various UN Conventions on Road
Traffic, Road Signs and Signals. It is catalogued as "C,17a".

Not sure why one should get so worked up about it...but anyway, the
National Speed Limit sign is gone (along with the National Speed Limit!) since metrification of speed limits. Every road now has a signposted limit.
