For example, I mean signs and notices giving directions to tourist attractions, because they can sometimes add to the information overload suffered by road users.
Brown tourist signs with the appropriate permissions are legal, but should be positioned so they do not obscure other signs. Unfortunately it would seem that when a tourist destination is given permission for official brown signs they seem to forget that permission does not mean the same as entitled and that the signs should not be used for advertising.
Thanks for that, but 'not obscuring' official signs isn't enough. I would suggest that the tourist attractio (and similar signs) should not be near enough to distract attention from the official signs.
Best wishes all,
