A NEW sign has been installed in the Glasgow's Southside the "wrong way round".
The pedestrian signage is understood to have been erected by Glasgow City Council on Victoria Road in Govanhill on Wednesday.
However, the sign, which is located on the pavement next to Crema where the road meets Albert Avenue, is pointing walkers heading to Langside, Queen's Park, New Victoria Hospital, Crosshill and Strathbungo in the opposite direction of where they should be going.

A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council confirmed it will be corrected.
A picture of the new sign was shared on Twitter with the caption: "Installed today, the wrong way round."

In response, one person joked: "All they need to do is add 'you are here' with a big arrow that goes all the way round to the other side of the sign."
Another said: "They had ONE job."
A third added: "Does the other side have the same shaped panels? Hopefully just a matter of swapping them around."
The council spokesperson said: "This is new pedestrian signage which has been installed. We will ensure it is corrected."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
