Lincolnshire ER OUT Routes

Hello! This is my first Diary Entry and I wanted to dedicate it to the Forum Post that I made about the UKs Only (I Believe) ER OUT routes in the case of any emergencies: mainly flooding in this case.

Overview

After major flooding in 2013 the council created the Lincolnshire ER Routes to enable people to quickly evacuate from the flood areas. Many of you make have driven past these and never even noticed! They are Red rectangular signs with the white text of ER out on them with a direction to follow. They are placed at every turn, so the evacuees follow the road ahead until a signs says otherwise.

Example Sign

Route End

The end of the route signifies that the evacuees are clear of the major flood risk and (presumably) there would be further guidance at the end of the route. The route end sign is the same as the direction signs however it features 5 black diagonal lines.

OSM Mapping

In the forum post I have included some proposed tags and along with Insert User who has suggested some changes to the signage.

I will be unable to fully map these routes out as I rarely venture to the south of Lincolnshire. If you live near one of these routes please do help to map these! I presume it will take a while to map all of the routes but I think it will be worth it in the event of any flooding within the region!

Please do not hesitate to contribute to the forum post!
