The photos below are from trips in 1994 and 2006.
- Left: This sign points to an exit ("way out") from Heathrow Airport. Route numbers in parenthesis are equivalent to "TO" signs in the U.S. The color of the route indicates the type of road: white on blue = motorway, yellow on green = national primary route, white on black = truck route, and black on white = other. The color of the whole sign itself indicates that it is pointing the way to one primary route and two motorways along a road which is not itself in either category. Thanks to Bernard Colby and Kevin Flynn for this information.
- Right: Standard London street sign. These are typically mounted on buildings, rather than on a signpost.
- Left: Sign noting the different Channel crossings.
- Right: Detail of Motorway bridge design.
The M4 motorway at the A4 exit. Most exit ramps go into roundabouts.
The bus lanes have red pavement. Speed is in miles per hour, and the "Moto" sign is for a service area.
The "4B" in the black square to the left is the exit number. VMS sign in the distance.
The eastbound M4 at the M25.
The M4 viaduct near its end in western London.
- Left: A sign warning of a speed camera.
- Right: Red route sign - no stopping. In France these were "Axe Rouge" signs.
- Left: London traffic light. These have a short red+yellow phase before turning green.
- Right: Help for pedestrians not used to traffic on the left.
