Sign Damage on variable sign at top of the hill

Reported via desktop in the Electronic Sign (NH) category anonymously at 11:18, Fri 6 September 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6443076.

Hello,

M27 > Westbound > Smart camera between J10 & 9 on top of the hill.

There is a damaged LCD square on this sign that is perfectly placed to make it very hard to distinguish between 50 & 60, with it only becoming clear when you are literally under the sign.

There will have been A LOT of unfair NOIP's sent to drivers when this has been reduced to 50, especially when coming in from an previously reduced 60 zone.

I would like to suggest this gets looked at, resolved, and investigated.

I would like to add, I have seen several flashes on my journey to work, to which I was luckily not one of them, so this is not in the hope of benefitting myself, but I wanted to highlight the issue to you as it is grossly unfair.

  • Yes I believe this just flashed me at 17.55-ish on 07 Feb 2025. What advice is there for people who get a letter through the post?
