Hi. I'm assuming the answer will be any signs on site are the ones to obey but just thought I'd check.

Went out at the weekend to explore a few new trails. These are routes that are on OS maps as B.O.A.Ts but on arrival found signage at the start of or slightly along the paths that is a no entry to motor vehicles except for access.

I take it no matter what the map says the road signs are the ones to obey? If so is there a resource to use other than OS maps when planning trips, where restrictions like this would show, to save me more wasted trips.

I joined up to Green Lane and got TW2, pretty much exactly what I was after, user comments on sections are particularly helpful regarding deep ruts or puddles as I’m not in a 4x4.

300 can you clarify what you mean by this? The land at either end is usually a proper paved road.

Do remember that the land either of a right of way is not meant to be driven on. This is one of the primary causes of lanes getting slapped with TRO's or being declassified.
