Cornering basics 1 - assessing the bend (limit point)
Discussion
I was merely saying it was an indicator - not definitive! As with any other observation it would have to be taken in context; all I'm saying is that those arrows would make me predisposed to believe that the bend was more likely to be open than tight.
I suppose there may be some councils that paint such signs where they serve absolutely no practical purpose, just because some rule says it should be so; I'll keep an eye out for "move left" arrows immediately following double whites. Until I come across an example though I will continue to treat such road markings as as indicator that the road ahead is potentially clear to overtake and therefore press on. Equally I will also take them as an indication that if there is any oncoming traffic some of may suddenly move onto on my side of the road.

Not necessarily... They are a legal requirement before a solid white line. The road could deviate sharply or have an unsighted hazard. White arrows certainly don't indicate the road ahead is open, normally quite the opposite.
Dunno if I misunderstood your point
You did I suspect; the white arrows are for traffic coming towards Reg in the examples. Dunno if I misunderstood your point
