no way. Maybe that sign applies to the ramp or a turn-off.

Actually, it is. People complain about the slow traffic in the opposite
direction (although it isn't quite as bad, as the carriageways diverge a
bit).

I've seen a suggestion elsewhere that this is a result of
somebody badly interpreting the relevant rules saying that
gradients less than 10% do not need signs.

They feel that some warning is required, so have chosen the least
gradient that they believe they can have a sign for.
