I have often thought while trundling down the M23 and passing the West Sussex sign or scooting along the A27 towards Worthing passing yet another West Sussex sign. Where are the East Sussex signs and why are there none :down: ? Ideas anyone

There are.

If you're coming from Worthing along the A27, you don't hit 'East Sussex' until Falmer, and there is one there. Likewise, there is one on the A259 heading east just after Lustrells Vale in Saltdean.

The A23 doesn't enter East Sussex.

Ok I know this is just a stupid question and thread, I meant there is a gap in the sussex areas.

close the thread please im an idiot, its been a long week and there is only half an hour to kill here at work.
The signs are put up by the local authority so although the city of brighton and hove is in east sussex it puts it own signs up to say you are in Brighton. You don't enter the boundary of East sussex local authority until you get to Falmer

Ok that makes sense even to an idiot like me, But tell me when we are getting a swanky new sign on the A23 & A27 saying this way to the stadium etc ?

Nobody wants you to DRIVE to the stadium.

I agree, though, that signs are needed. To Mill Road park and ride, Mithras House, the Race Course, Sussex University.

It's complicated.
