Signs left behind

Reported via mobile in the Abandoned Materials (NH) category anonymously at 18:51, Tuesday 4 November 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8376907.

There are road work signs left behind following completion of A1 Northbound road closure a couple of weeks ago.

These have been left on the B1081 around 800 yards before the A1 Northbound.

What3word location is roughly ///upwardly.afflict.synthetic

These have also been reported to the local council as flytipping.

The TM that you used is Martins traffic management. They constantly leave their mess everywhere.

Updates

  • Thank you for contacting National Highways.

    We have passed your report to our local inspector who will review the issue as part of their next safety inspection and arrange any remedial action.

    Littering and fly tipping by people is, unfortunately, a behaviour that has a big impact on some parts of our roads. We aim to keep our roads as tidy and free of litter as we can.

    Our litter picking is carefully planned to try to minimise the impact it has on road users and the safety of our people. Litter picks often require lane closures, which are disruptive to traffic flow.

    To help reduce the frequency of this disruption, where we can, we usually combine our reactive litter picks with other maintenance work which can result in what appears to be a delayed response.

    Kind regards

    National Highways
