Sign missing

At approx 2155 on 11 Mar 24 on entering the night roadworks onto the A14 there are no speed limit signs as you enter the slip road denoting a 40 mph limit. This means that users entering the A14 would still believe it is National speed limit. The last speed sign visible is National speed limit and a double clear way sign as you enter the slip lane. This would suggest a National speed limit. The first road sign denoting a 40mph limit is a speed repeater sign some distance onto the A14. Immediately after the first speed sign there is a police speed camera van which will be measuring road users speed who will not be aware of the fact it is 40mph until is too late. In addition, the number of roadwork vehicles transiting on the works lane with all their lights flashing and bright spot lights is a distraction from any road markings and signs.

In order to ensure road users are aware of the speed limit and to protect the work force, a 40mph sign should be positioned on the slip road at the location marked to ensure users entering the A14 are aware of the speed limit reduction.
