The sign of a poor translation!
Pedestrians have been left confused by a road sign telling them to look different ways in different languages.
A temporary road sign in Cardiff city centre urged English speakers to look one way before crossing the road, and Welsh speakers to look the other way.
The sign “pedestrians look left” was translated to say “cerddwyr edrychwch i’r dde” - or “pedestrians look right”.
Cardiff council said the sign was the work of a contractor, and it had been removed after the mistake was noticed.
