Post Box Cross junction In common with the signs at many Devon road junctions and crossroads, the name of the location is on the upright.  This sign differs from the norm (e.g. Brindiwell Cross <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3259277">SS8908 : Brindiwell Cross junction</a> a short distance away) because the name is not enclosed in a box, and the font is slightly different.
