I think this is the sort of thing that the OP came across. There's some small print stating it will be in place for a maximum of 72 hours, but I've got no idea when it went up. As for attaching it to a traffic light :roll: .
Well yes except the signs were at various places, sometimes on straight pieces of road eg A22 and the wording was simply "Caution Cyclists without anything else, and they were temporary. However if I cycle down the same road, as I did today, there isn't a sign, even though motorists should use still use caution for cyclists. I suppose my point is that do these temporary signs lull motorists into thinking there might be cyclists only when they see signs, and therefore should these signs be used at all?

I suspect it's more to do with the organiser ticking a box on their insurance policy with regard to their risk assessment.
