40mph sign has gone

Reported via desktop in the Damage to Sign (NH) category anonymously at 16:07, Saturday 14 February 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8919185.

There should be a 40mph sign on the westbound carriageway after the road becomes a duel carriageway when coming out of the built up area and before the 70mph zone starts near The Coach and Horses. This has recently disappeared. Traffic is speeding up to 70 mph as soon as it reaches the duel carriageway.

    We have asked the relevant team to investigate 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.
