SatNav Signs

It has finally happened. With the rise of in-car Satellite Navigation systems, it has been noticed that certain routes take drivers down inaccessible or impractical roads.

In the village of St Hilary in South Glamorgan, lorry drivers had repeatedly followed their SatNav advice, and driven down a road that was too narrow for them, culminating in their bloking the narrow road for several hours at a time. Finally, the exasperated villagers appealed to the Welsh Assembly to put up a sign urging lorry drivers to ignore their SatNav (left).
