I think they are only advisory - they are blue rectangular signs, not round.

There is no such thing as a "you may now remount" sign.

That would be true if the highway code holds court where they are placed.

Don't even suggest that to anyone involved in disposing of the councils budget for cycling.

Hi Jeremy

There are a few round-shaped "get off your bike" signs around here -

or half way over a humped back bridges. They're pointless, at least where they're placed.

Personally, I ignore them.
