Signs missing
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5502678.
Previously there have been signs for the reduced speed limit on the central reservation as well as the left hand side of the road. This at the entrance to the roadworks travelling west. These are now missing. They have always been misleading, stating 'Roadworks 1 mile' with an immediate reduction in speed to 50. If you are now in the right hand / middle lane and there are trucks in the inside lane easy to miss the speed limits, resulting in drivers slamming on the brakes
