Reckon a signwriters would do it. But a carefully hand painted plank of

Or if the road name isn't to long made up as a number plate or two. Nicely
reflective and cheap. Several of those around here but not for road names
as the roads don't have names.


Site it carefully - if some one trips over it or knocks against it you
could be sued. ISTR an unofficial sign being hit by a vehicle that was
swerving off the road and the 'driver' trying it on!

Apart from the obvious authorities, only AA, RAC and CTC have a 'right' to
erect road signs (and I suspect that doesn't include 'public'-type ones).
