In the case of a keep left/keep right sign, it must be possible to have
a swappable sign that's fitted in a 'window' at the top and secured in
place somehow, to prevent kids playing around with it.

Then you can have an arrow either way, plus other symbols can be placed
in this 'window' so you don't need to carry a whole bollard for each
sign. You can have 'pass both sides', 'no entry', 'cycles only/no
cycles' etc.

Good thinking.

However what I meant, and expressed poorly, was which way the *bollard*
should face.

Hmm - "secured in place somehow, to prevent kids playing around with
it" - perhaps the ultimate technical challenge of our time!

Like they already are?

You didn't do well in mental agility tests did you? If you rotate the
keep left sign 270 degrees, it looks like a keep right one...

Do you always go the long way round???

If you rotate the keep left sign *90* degrees the other way, it still
looks like a keep right one...

Ofcourse I'm stereotyping, as I've never been one what else can I do?

Surely the whole purpose of thought is to create stereotypes and other
generalisations.
