Hazardous positioning of the chevron slip road sign

Reported via desktop in the Sign Obscured (NH) category anonymously at 15:10, Tue 21 October 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8322454.

When exiting the Orwell logistics park on the slip road leading onto the A14, the highway's installed chevron sign blocks the driver's vision towards the A14 traffic, forcing the driver to accelerate fast to ensure they exit onto the A14 safely.

Last night there was a major collision with a car and a lorry exiting the slip road in heavy rain. This is serious safety concern and please look into the sign before there is a fatal crash at this location when exiting from the Orwell logistics park.
