Signs in Bradford 'should be taken down'
Two incorrect signs in Bradford need to be removed if motorists are to be kept safe, according to a local resident.
Placards on the A658 Harrogate Road in Eccleshill tell motorists that they are entering onto a dual carriageway when in fact the road is a single-lane highway.
As a result, it may be that the sign is risking the lives of those who follow its instructions - endangering their car or motorbike insurance policies too.
This could result in cover providers increasing their prices in order to ensure that they do not lose out.

Local resident Clifford Kay believes that it is unacceptable that the signs still remain, the news source added.
He said: "It's laughable that these signs are still up after all these years of it not being a dual carriageway. I'm tempted to take them down myself because drivers see them and speed up."
Cars on dual carriageways in can legally travel up to 70 mph in a non-built up area, according to British law.
Vehicle travelling on a single-line highway can usually drive as fast as 60 mph as long as the area is considered safe to do so by road authorities.
