Signs obscured

Reported via desktop in the Sign Obscured (NH) category anonymously at 15:23, Thu 29 May 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7633918.

There are multiple instances between junctions 3 and 6 of the M65 motorway, both Westbound and Eastbound, where the signs at the side of the motorway are obscured by vegetation. This has been prevalent for some months but with the spring growth some signs are unreadable, which makes it difficult for drivers who are unfamiliar with the area. This could potentially lead to accidents, with drivers making last minute maneuvers.

  • Thank you for making your report. We have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue.

    If any work is needed, they will arrange for this to happen. Should no immediate work be required we will continue to monitor this during our regular inspections.

    Although we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.
