Severely grime-stained and degraded motorway signage on A180

The blue informational service route sign on the A180 is heavily discoloured, with severe streak staining and grime accumulation across the lower panel. This obscures the mileage readouts for the M180, M62(W), and M1(S), significantly compromising night-time retroreflectivity and legibility for high-speed traffic. The sign face requires thorough cleaning or resurfacing. And additionally, tree branches and foliage on the left verge are beginning to encroach on the sign face and require trimming to prevent further obstruction.
