Use of rear entrances to Motorway Services

I used to use one at Corley Services on M6, but I think its barrier controlled nowadays.

Signs used in connection with a TRO have to be as that prescribed in Traffic Signs and General Directions 2002 or, if not listed, special authorisation of non standard sign by Sec of State. Beyond this remit then Order not enforceable.

Locals putting up their own home made signs does not count and could lead to them being prosecuted.

Ahh - that is interesting as this was a no-entry sign in a yellow square. May be it was up to "dissuade"....

& what was wrong with it being on a yellow backing board ?

From memory there was a recent case on the A58 between Wetherby and Leeds where a speeding prosecution failed due to non-conforming signs (again from memory, these indeed had the yellow backing with conforming sign as an 'inset'.).

Yes but why did it fail ?
Not just because it had a yellow backing board, there must have been something about the yellow backing board that didn't conform with the TSR&GD.
Yellow backing boards are allowed provided they comply with those.
