No one has mentioned putting a board out I don’t think.
There’s usually quite a prominent coloured display in the window showing pictures.
Have you been to this van? It's fairly clear what the prices are, they are not misleading anyone.

By & large the length & breadth of the country it doesn't present a problem. It's incomprehensible the thought process behind buying a ice cream (or any item) without realising the costs. Ultimately poor signage falls short unless it's false misleading signage such as depicting a ice cream & then charging extras beyond the standard price of the pictured item.

Just parked up at Boundary Mill
At the kiosk - in the window there, there’s a large board - about a metre high- with coloured pictures of all the ice creams
You can read it easily at +10 yards distance, and the prices are clear
A cone or tub is £1.50 or £2 with a flake.
