that is crazy.. just plain crazy...how the hell are you supposed to digest all that information and still watch out for a kid chasing a ball....
even at 20mph....ridiculous.
Nice photoshop work. Either that or the cars up the street are facing the wrong way and in a bus only route ;)

There's no tom foolery in this photo I can assure you. Its a genuine photo.
Where is that taken? Given the location Google Maps should be able to verify its authenticity.
No idea where it was taken but have a gander at this link. Then scroll down to page 4. Yes I know its sad looking at such sites but today was an important day for some of us.

Hmm, I think it was being used as a humorous example. I can't see how that road can have a 50 zone into a bus route and 30 zones either side. I appreciate the view looks foreshortened, but the road still looks too small for a 50 zone. And the shadows seem to be missing...
It also appears on this Hungarian site (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=hu&u=http://www.origo.hu/auto/20060217balesetet.html&ei=MRgnT7KrOKS80QWO05XOCg&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCIQ7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://www.origo.hu/auto/20060217balesetet.html%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D2170%26bih%3D1255%26prmd%3Dimvns) from yesteryear

Just turn left and you'll be fine. ;D
I might not want to turn left. :-\

Well, if there aren't any of your collegues or CCTV cameras about, what is going to stop you?
Or just push the bike across. As long as you're not riding it you should be fine. Or is that illegal in this country?
Looks pretty straight forward to me.
The photo makes all the signs look like they are for the road they are on, but the 50 is for traffic heading right, 30 for heading left and most of the rest have to do with the bus lane crossing this road.
Add in a bit of 3D and this would make much more sense.
Some of the junctions around Heathrow are similar to this although recently they do seem to have been simplifying the road sign-age somewhat. After all, we have to cater to the stupid and incompetent driver and make things as simple as possible for them. God forbid that we require them to THINK about what they are doing.
Come and live in the Dales and forget about all that garbage. ;)
