Thread Name: Misleading signs
Subject: RE: Misleading signs
In Derbyshire U.K there was a court case involving a man who had driven over a railway crossing whilst the red lights flashed.
He was discharged fron court and all the signs changed as the sign had actually stated "Do not cross while lights flash"....
WHILE in Derbyshire dialect can be interpreted as "UNTIL".
A costly mistake for the planners.
Best wishes.
