I hate that junction. Twice Ive been going south on the M23 wanting to go onto the M25 and somehow messed up and ended up remaining on the M23. First place you can turn round? Gatwick.

I do of course understand the why, it's just that symbols and pictograms make much less sense to me than words.
A laudable enough approach PROVIDED that it is done in such a way as to increase, rather the decrease, the number of people who can clearly understand what information is being conveyed to them.

It's not a new issue .... When I was about 5 years old I had to wear a pair of ('National Health') glasses, because I "failed" an 'eye test' undertaken at school. Because we were deemed to be too young to be able to read the letters on standard "Eye Charts", instead they uses charts which had (very poor) drawings on animals on them. As I tried to explain to them, I could see all the drawings perfectly well, but some of the drawings were so bad/unclear that I could not make out which animals they were trying to depict! However, they ignored my protestations and sentenced me to 'look like a geek' for a year or so (until I was deemed old enough to be able to 'read letters')
