M27 East Jct 8 slip countdown signs missing

Reported via mobile in the Damage to Sign (NH) category anonymously at 10:21, Tue 12 August 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8013317.

On the M27 eastbound leaving junction 8, some of the countdown signs down the slip road on approach to the roundabout are missing.

On the right verge as you come down the slip road, both the 300 yard and 100 yard signs have been missing since at least 2022, on the right of the slip road. The 200 yard sign is still in place on both sides of the road as before. Believe this is since the smart motorway works were being completed while the right lane was closed for some time, these signs were not reinstalled.
