Earlier directional signage Road signs in Ireland

-


early bilingual a.a. fingerpost sign



advance directional sign used pre-1975. sign has since been removed.


the former fingerpost style of irish directional signage can still seen in many rural areas of republic of ireland. these signs differ modern-day equivalent have black raised text on white background. destinations in caps (the placename in irish on top , in smaller font 1 in english). sometimes, former route number ( t trunk road, l link road) can seen, , former bord fáilte logo can seen on (they had responsibility signage time), harp. distances on these signs in miles.


this style of signage has become common feature of many tourist images of ireland , can seen in irish pubs. however, can rotated, , have been done on occasion , therefore not reliable. while examples of these signs still in situ rural finger-posts, advance directional sign of era can still seen: has grey background, destinations in outlined, white-background boxes linked black lines, , text not raised on these, unlike on fingerposts. these signs, rare when system in use, can seen in areas of dún laoghaire , drogheda. these signs prescribed under various regulations, final design prescribed under road traffic signs (regulations) 1962.


despite new signage style being introduced in 1977, design change never legislated (apart reference change italics in 1989) , old designs repealed under 1997 regulations, 20 years later.


the first generation of current signage system, introduced in 1977, can seen in on national roads (and on oldest stretch of m1). similar current system, signs simpler, different shade of green used, , irish place names not in italics. these signs directly based on worboys committee designs had been adopted in uk in 1965. these signs replaced current system on 1 january 1989. design of signs has continued evolve introduction of patching under guildford rules in 1994 , introduction of cantilever directional signs in 2005, expansion in gantry signage since then.


the republic of ireland s yield sign formerly read yield right of way , , many of older variant can still seen around state.
