Old Street byway and bridleway signpost A very short signpost showing the route of a byway and a bridleway: the byway is Old Street. The bridleway sign should read byway, as the track is a byway for a very small distance, and then becomes a bridleway. Logic prevails, however, and the sign is sensible.
