Illegal housing poster distracting drivers at accident spot

Reported via desktop in the Flyposting (NH) category anonymously at 12:11, Mon 22 September 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8197524.

An illegal sign has been placed on a traffic light at the worst traffice accident spot in the area - distracting drivers. The sign is at the A550 Jct with Ledsham Road - travelling from Two mills jct towards hooton the sign can be seen at this key jct. The sign is from the nearby Redrow housing development which also has a high number of HGV visiting the site along this route which adds to the danger of this sign. There are multiple accidents at this spot requiring road closures, ambulances - this irresponsible act will add to this issue. Also this is a driving instructor and driving exam route. This is not the first time Redrow have put signs on on the A550. This time they have also put signs up on the A41 jct to Ledsham Road - the council have been informed of that.

  • Thank you for contacting National Highways about flyposting.

    We have passed this to one of our local inspectors to confirm that this is on our property. If it is, we will then either contact the company concerned and ask them to remove their material from our property or remove this ourselves.

    Kind regards
