Polish road signs put up in England

Road signs have been put up in Polish in Cheshire to stop Polish-speaking drivers getting confused and to help make sure they follow diversions.

Some Polish lorry drivers have not understood diversion signs in the past and have come "into conflict" with road workers, the county council said.



The signs have cost a few hundred pounds and it is not about political correctness, the council said.

It said there was a significant Polish population in the Crewe area, thought to be about 3,000, and a number of them made their living driving commercially.
