No sign confirming end of roadworks
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6519212.
Having travelled west earlier and reported a similar problem, having now travelled east on the M27 I have noted there is no sign to confirm the end of the 50mph limit east of Junction 9. This needs signing. Having recently had a speeding ticket due to rubbish signage this is very frustrating. I stuck to 50mph until I was sure it was back to normal but the sighs should be there. SORT THE TEMPORARY MOTORWAY SIGNAGE OUT URGENTLY. IT IS NOT FAIR ON DRIVERS - - IF WE GET TICKETS DUE TO RUBBISH SIGNAGE IT IS VERY HARD TO PROVE THE ERROR

I’m sorry for any confusion or inconvenience these signs have caused you. I can appreciate your frustration at the lack of clear signage of where the free recovery starts or where the speed restrictions end and understand your concerns relating to this.
Instead of the return to NSL signs, we have installed new signage just after the works (please the below picture for reference) indicating that the speed limit returns to the variable speed limit.
This is determined by the signage on the overhead gantries (Variable Message Signs or VMS). Unless otherwise stated on these message boards, the NSL of 70mph still applies. This is a new approach that has been developed for works on Smart Motorways that have no hard shoulder (known as All Lanes Running or ALR). In these instances, you will no longer see the return to NSL signage across our works in ALR sections.
Please be assured that unless there is overhead signage on our VMS stating otherwise, the national speed limit of 70mph applies when you see these signs.
We appreciate your feedback which is invaluable to us as someone who uses our network, it helps us to identify issues that we can investigate or clarify further
