This should be my last post on street signs for a while! I picked these two, close together in the Locksmeade development, to contrast the old and the new. Above is an old one.
The new sign looks very different with its lighter and slightly serifed typeface and its "no through road" symbol. Every road in Locksmeade is a no through road and I do not think that any one has ever thought otherwise so the symbol seems to be unnecessary.
Artistically the sign looks good but I question the legibility of the light typeface and the distraction of the no through road symbol.
