Amber lens at the top in the traffic light?

That sign is closer than 200 yards to the deviation as well! (or is the deviation 200 yards long? don't know my highway code!)

I`ll have to take another look, the traffic light does appear to be showing amber in the picture, but I think that`s a trick of the light - the natural light, that is! At the scene looking at the lights I only saw the red and the green. Indeed I took a second picture before moving off when the traffic light changed from red to green. Maybe my eyes deceived me - wouldn`t be the first time. I`ll check.

No, I was making an allusion to the 200 yard road sign - and my eyes were not deceiving me here - 20 yards, yes! maybe a bit more - 25 - 30 yards - but 200 - No way is it 200 yards from that sign to the road works (the lane closure)!!

Might seem as splitting hairs by some, a minor point, but there are (struggling to avoid the use of `actually`) government regulations in regard to the placing of temporary road signs. What may appear trivial, of no consequence, could lead to an accident, or a series of accidents, and worse!

This particular road may be little used, an unclassified road, but the same rules apply - the same regulations as would apply to any other road. Something I feel very strongly about!

I`ll shut up now.
