New signs that are leaving cyclists mystified

New cycling signs are appearing


around the country and they have been spotted in Kerry over the weekend.

What exactly are they telling the cyclist? Obviously that there is a cycle possibility in the direction which the sign is pointing. But to where is the cyclist being directed. Are both signs pointing to the same place.

For what does the digit one (1) within the EU symbol stand?

Road signs of their nature are expected to tell the road user as quickly, clearly and as simply as possible what the sign is saying.

Anyone who has studied sacramental theology will be aware of the importance of symbols and signs and how they are signifiers.
