Route sign - points down a narrow mud path down an earth bank #103366

Sustrans route sign on link from NCN 5 to NCN 562 in Runcorn - blink and you'd miss it. Also the direction is for route 562 not 62.

Route sign for Runcorn Loop cycleway. No indiaction as to wher to ride in the other direction.

Signs point along Pitts Heath Lane to the roundabout ... then nothing.

Proper signs are needed here. Small stickers stuck to round posts are difficult to spot and are unsuitable for anything other than route confirmation signs.

route sign - one direction only

Not very helpful if you want to know where to go.

Bridgwater Way Cycleway crosses the canal here - contrary to the direction indicated on the sign.

Route sign needed to show where the Runcorn loop Cycleway turns off Falstone Drive.

Stickers on lamp posts do not make for good route signs. it is very easy to miss the turn off from Windmill Hill Avenue to the Runcorn Loop Cycleway.

Route sign on the Bridgewater Way (RCN 82). Only shows one direction at a three-way junction.

route sticker on post is easy to miss
