Nice one. Could do with being a foot further up the pole, as the vegetation is already beginning to obscure it!

Not sure who put those up, but there was a time trial using a section of that road last Saturday, so maybe it was the organisers.

That seems to be extraordinarily well-spotted. Unless I'm missing something embarrassingly obvious, I can't see anything to identify the location.

If you know the road....

The cyclist is also not a particularly generic picture.
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those can extrapolate from incomplete data.

Just after Denwick on the Alnwick to Christon Bank road. Local knowledge :)

Is the "Please slow down and pass safely" aimed at the car drivers or the time trialists ? :)

Not sure it's the one in that location after all - it maybe the other one on the road as you head south towards Alnwick, Or are there more ...... where was it Oldjohnw?

It wasn’t. It was just outside Ancroft on the Lowick to Berwick road. Some smart Alec had also turned the direction sign round.

- maybe being put up by the council. I've only seen the ones on the B1340 so far. I realised I didn't recognize the road in your photo. Good!

There are a lot of these yellow paper signs dotted about W. Lancashire, stuck onto lamposts etc. You see the occasional one vandalised by being sprayed over or scraped off, slightly disturbing.

I like the space for cycling one posted by oldjohnw, there are similar ones relating to horse riders displayed around here.
