On the Yonne to the north of Auxerre, going up, then, at a lock farther on, out. As may be seen, coming the other way can be tricky, merging into the downright dangerous if your arrival is unexpected. Waiting points are a rarity; it is always a good idea to let the staff know you are coming..

Sadly the IWA gave a photoprize (see thread here) for showing them at (a mirror-image of) a location they probably couldn't have reached, in order to promote the benefits of canal restoration. You Couldn't Make It Up. Or, of course, you can: here from the thread they are at Farmers Bridge, and below at Flatford MillFlatford-Mill-Boats.jpg

Aldermaston K&A. Displays on the Bridge operating pedestal

 

I remember on a bright, sunny morning back in 2001 puzzling for ages why that bridge wouldn't work.  Eventually, as I was on the brink of calling BW,  I accidentally shaded the display and found it was to allow the morning rush hour traffic to cross without interruption by boats raising the bridge. 😣🤣
