    Edinburgh City Bypass



    As you come to the end of the M8 and also at other junctions there are signs showing Bypass North and Bypass South, South being towards sheriff hall, North towards the Gyle.

    It got me thinking, surely East and West would be a better description and more accurate and according to my phone maps I'm correct.

    So why North/South sign posts?

    Hmm, that actually makes sense

    I'd still have East/West though

    South east and north west would be more accurate, Shirley?
