Road Sign question - what does it mean?

Hi all
A question to me from a colleague of mine; there's a road sign she has seen which is a blue circle with a white border and white diagonal line through it. She asked me what it means and I had no idea - so went onto the DVLA site (which is appauling, by the way) looking for all the different signs etc and I simply can't find it.
I confirmed with her that's how it looked (i.e. confirmed description) and she said yes.
I'm stumped! Anyone seen it before?
Thanks!

Thought of clearway signage, but can even find that in the new H.C., Not colour blind is she?A question to me from a colleague of mine; there's a road sign she has seen which is a blue circle with a white border and white diagonal line through it.

Does she remember, with reasonable precision, where it is? If we're really lucky, it might be visible on Google Street View.A question to me from a colleague of mine; there's a road sign she has seen which is a blue circle with a white border and white diagonal line through it.

Commander - I thought exactly the same thing and yes, she knows exactly where it is - but unfortunately there's no street view available there (I checked 
). I'll chase her up this morning - it being a faded red sign is highly possible.
Worry not chaps, I will satisfy the curiosity, even if it means I need to drive up there myself to get a picture

Now thats dedication Tony, well done, it annoys me when I either don't know the sign, or even worse, cant even find the old clearway sign in the NEW H.C.,.....I am awaiting in anticipation to find out what the sign was?

*** MYSTERY SOLVED ***
So, 43mins of traffic laden rubbishy wet driving to satisfy my curiosity!
It is........ no waiting! But very, very heavily faded. I did my best to get a picture for you all, I think you can just make it out....
When seen within the context of the location it all becomes clear that the red circle and diagonal have faded to white.So, 43mins of traffic laden rubbishy wet driving to satisfy my curiosity!

Perhaps a call to the local Highways dept offering to donate a tin of red paint may chivvy them into replacing it with a fully 'coloured in' version?

When these are used near roadworks, they sometimes use a detachable arrow point - perhaps it fell off.
Never seen one with a detachable arrow-head ... and why would you need one? The usual style for temporary ones has a rotatable white bar (with integral arrow-head) which is locked in place (pointing left or right as needed) by a screw - Streakyone on left lane was T| one on right lane was |T caused chaos as people swapped lanes
