UK metropolis avenue signal is ‘nightmare’ for motorists due to one odd characteristic

A stunned TikToker was left baffled by a bizarre road sign in Liverpool that some are calling a “nightmare”.

Scouser with a Drone said he has “never seen anything like it in his life” after coming across a street sign in Liverpool, the Liverpool Echo reported. In the video he can be heard saying: “Look at the size of that street sign. I’ve never seen nothing like that in my life. Wow. Any need for the size of it?”. The sign in question can be found in the L27 area of Belle Vale.

It indicates the start of Southbrook Road before, as the sign suggests, then leads into the likes of Silverbrook Road, Maytree Close and Mullrea Close to name a few. The road hosts St Cyril’s Social Club and is nearby to Millstead School Netherley South.

The video now has over 60,000 viewers, with a number of people chiming in with their thoughts in the comments. “Basically, the road leads on to the rest of Liverpool,” Lisa said.

Olivia added: “As someone who lives on this road, I can confirm it’s a taxi nightmare.”

Another account user said: “Liverpool road builders: shall we build direct roads and routes or cul-de-sacs and add 10 minutes to everyone’s day for no reason.” Chrissy Clark said: “Proper essay” and Kimberly Foster said: “It’s way too long.”

A separate TikToker user wrote: “It’s like the stairs in Wetherspoons, goes on forever.” Hay added: “Poor postman’s head must be chocka reading all that.” Another comment read: “The sign is bigger than my grandad’s bungalow.”

Whilst some debate if it’s Liverpool’s longest road sign, other users were quick to point out similarly sized road signs spotted around Merseyside. Someone said: “One on Aigburth like that near the barracks” and another user added: “There’s a bigger one near Otterspool Park.”
