Now that City of York Council has invested seemingly tens of thousands of pounds of taxpayers’ money on those infernal, distracting and generally hapless warning signs, can any readers think of a better use for them?

A five-part weekly quiz for commuters perhaps, or maybe some cartoon characters for the kids?

Maybe even the latest score in live Test matches – or, on second thoughts, maybe not.
