Motorists in Perth have been driven to despair over diversion signs directing traffic in opposite directions.
Drivers in Perth City Centre have been left wondering whether to go left, right or straight ahead with signs pointing in all three directions.
Various sets of roadworks happening at once over the last few days seems to have caused the confusion.
And while symbols have been placed on the corners of some signs to distinguish which diversion they apply to, some have been missing the symbols. And - even with the symbols - with so many conflicting diversion signs confusion has ensued with drivers getting increasingly frustrated.
Heading towards the South Inch on Scott Street on Wednesday, August 30, the Perthshire Advertiser spotted three diversion signs - each with an arrow pointing in a different direction and all within 100 yards of each other.
Motorists have been left baffled.
A similarly confusing picture was captured on camera at the junction between South Street and Scott Street on Sunday directing diverted traffic both left and right.
The following day the sign directing traffic left was removed.
There was also a double diversion at the junction between Caledonian Road and Glasgow Road in Perth.
One disgruntled Perth resident said: “This is a nonsense - how are people expected to navigate this?
“I thought someone was playing a practical joke on Scott Street, the signs point all over the place.
“There could be serious consequences, however - this could cause an accident.”
The driver added: “I get they need roadworks - but surely not all at the same time!"
The driver added: "Thankfully I know the area well and was able to snake my way around the confusion. It certainly would have been a frustrating exercise for

Ferrari has defended the casting of Adam Driver against claims of cultural appropriation.Andrea Iervolino, an Italian-Canadian film producer on the Enzo Ferrari biopic, rebuked claims made against Driver’s casting by actor Pierfrancesco Favino, who questioned why Italian actors were not cast more often in Hollywood films.In response, Iervolino said Italy had failed in comparison to other countries in producing Hollywood stars with worldwide visibility, citing examples like Javier Bardem and Antonio Banderas from Spain, and Marion Cotillard and Vincent Cassel from France.Speaking at the festival (via the Telegraph), Ierovlino said: “Italian cinema needs to look beyond Italy and come up with synergies with the international film industry, which wants to invest in Italian icons. Films like Ferrari, which will be distributed in 150 countries, promote Italy and Italian genius.”The producer called on the Italian film industry to “make films based on stories that speak to the whole world, with international stars who work side by side with our own talent”.In his original comments, Favino, who stars in a movie called Comandante which opened this year’s festival, asked why actors on the level of Toni Servillo (The Great Beauty) were not cast more often in Hollywood productions.“There’s an issue of cultural appropriation,” Favino said.“Instead, the parts are given to foreign actors who are distant from the story’s real protagonists, starting with the exotic accents,” he added.

Adam Driver has criticised Amazon and Netflix for refusing to meet the demands of actors amid the ongoing Hollywood strikes.READ MORE: Hollywood on strike! Every question about the actor and writer protests answeredThe actor shared his criticism while promoting his new film Ferrari at the Venice Film Festival on Thursday (August 31). Prior to the festival, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) agreed to grant interim agreements to certain productions so they could promote their films.“I’m very proud to be here to be a visual representation of a movie that’s not part of the AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers) and to promote the SAG leadership directive, which is an effective tactic, which is the interim agreement.”Driver continued: “The other objective is obviously to say, why is it that a smaller distribution company like Neon and STX International can meet the dream demands of what SAG is asking for — this is pre-negotiations — the dream version of SAG’s wish list, but a big company like Netflix and Amazon can’t?“And every time people from SAG go and support a movie that has met the terms of the interim agreement, it just makes it more obvious that these people are willing to support the people that they collaborate with, and the others are not.”Driver has previously worked closely with Netflix, starring in 2019’s Marriage Story alongside Scarlett Johansson.
