Commuters in Salford have been left scratching their heads after remembrance day signs placed at several busy junctions appear to suggest traffic will be paused during the minute's silence.
The signs have appeared at traffic lights at the bus crossroads in the middle of Swinton, and read: "Remembrance Day. Signals on red for two minutes silence at 11am. Thank you."
Locals told the Manchester Evening News they have 'never seen' motorists asked to observe a silence before by holding red lights, ad are baffled by the notices, which have been placed in three locations around the Swinton A6 junction.
