Defective cats eyes M5 northbound

Reported via mobile in the Road markings (NH) category anonymously at 19:17, Mon 31 October 2022

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3927864.

I travel northbound on the M5 from junction 30 to 26 and the white cats eyes separating the lanes are barely visible for much of my journey, particularly during the rain. The red eyes marking the hard shoulder are also missing at several stretches. This is a hazard to drivers and makes driving extremely unpleasant.

Sorry I can’t be more specific about locations, I drive alone and obviously can’t be noting down mile markers. However the cats eyes definitely deteriorate the further from Exeter you get and are particularly bad around between Cullimpton and junction 26.

Thanks.
