what does 'O/L' painted on the road mean?

[Blackpuddin]

The boys have been round from the council and painted 'O/L' in white on a single track road near our house. Anybody know what it means? Google has not been my friend.

Preliminary markings for a new dual carriageway.

OP, why did you not object to this when the planning application was being considered?

Ha, pretty sure it's not that Picture, thousand words etc:

Is it permanently painted, or just spray painted?

If the latter it may be some kind of instruction for upcoming works.

Yeah, I'm guessing that, but I just wondered what sort of works they might be and whether a road engineer could unlock the code. Obviously it's temporary and an instruction of some sort.

[Blackpuddin]

Not an alien marking for some sort of landing place then.

I believe a reference to the legendary : dogs and gypsies

Oh so I was right not to understand it the first time, thanks.

Some enormous tractors do pull big sheep trailers along there.
