Incorrect information displayed

Reported via mobile in the Electronic Sign (NH) category anonymously at 18:54, Thursday 22 May 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7606833.

The sign northbound on the M5 repeatedly displays incorrect information about an incident on the road, such as animals on road or incident ahead. This happens most days. This leads to many drivers ignoring the information, whilst others slow down. The mismatch leading to a potential hazard.
