Around 1,000 road signs are to be taken down in South Wales because they are considered 'unnecessary'.
Caerphilly council has pledged to take down the signs as part of a declutter of its roads.
By the end of March, roads particularly in rural communities and around historic locations, will have some signs removed.
The move follows a 'clutter audit' by the council which has identified 1,000 road signs which are not necessary and which will be removed.
A spokesman for the council said, the aim was not to endanger road users by taking down signs, but to remove those which are not needed. The removed signs will either be scrapped or recycled.
Last year, the RAC Foundation said too many road signs could cause accidents because of an overload of information.
