They were covered with large yellow printed signs saying 'sign not yet in use' for months. When they finally were in use, they displayed such gems as "London 2012. Plan Your Journey. Arrive On Time". You know, I'd never have even thought about planning my journey to arrive on time without multimillion pound overhead gantries to tell me so! God Bless the Highways Agency!

I know they mean well but wish they could tell I want them to go away and leave me alone!
