Stereotypes are only used by those incapable of thinking.

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

Thought is something engaged in by intelligent people and intelligent people
claim to dislike stereotypes, so I'm told.

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...

?

I suggested a system that would allow one arrow to be swapped to point
left or right (I didn't think anyone would want it pointing up). I am
sorry if I didn't communicate this very well, but what you've just said
sounds exactly the same!

No it doesn't. Get a square bit of paper. Draw an arrow on it. Look at
it pointing left. Rotate it. What do you get?

I've recently noticed that a lot of the plastic lit-up bollards on traffic
islands seem to be wrong - for instance, a plain white disc where there
should be a leftward arrow, or a leftward arrow where there should be two
diverging arrows, etc.

Even worse is the number that aren't illuminated at night, or are so
filthy that the illumination doesn't show at all. The highway's people
are obviously trying to save a few bob here; although they may find it
difficult to escape liability when a motorcyclist runs into one of
their unlit obstacles, loses a leg and sues them for negligence!
Perhaps they could venture outside their cosy little local authority
world of astronomic salaries, inflation-proof pensions and automatic
promotion for long enough to look at this problem.
