Morden Compost Site Sign

I saw three people at the Morden Compost Site, standing scratching their heads trying to decipher the directions on a sign for the new compost site. I went over and looked at the sign and it's unbelievable that someone could create a sign so confusing. When you are viewing the sign you are heading "South" down Mountain. I went out and took a picture of the sign as it appears. It took me awhile to figure out what exactly was wrong with the sign, eventually I surmised that the sign was in reverse of what it should be. With photo editing one is able to correct it and show how it should appear as you're facing south.

Someone in their wisdom has been taught in school that when you post directions on a map, North is always at the top, and that is correct when you are drawing a MAP!
This however is a sign to indicate a "route" or "path" to follow, not a MAP!
Using the principal of showing directions of North, East, West, and South on a route sign, the sign for making a right turn at this corner would appear as below.





Talk about confusing! Our town officials are elected to give
direction to the town, I only hope their direction for the town
is clearer than their signage.
