Sign obscuring junction view

Reported via desktop in the Damage to Sign (NH) category anonymously at 09:54, Wednesday 22 April 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9334389.

There's a massive "Average Speed Check" sign that is for road traffic joining the A47 from the Thickthorn roundabout (going West). This side badly obscures the view of oncoming traffic at an adjacent cycle/pedestrian crossing (crossing going towards Norwich). It is very dangerous. School children and others use this crossing routinely, and the road traffic is fast here.

This sign should be moved/removed urgently before an accident happens.

Ironically, the roadworks on the A47 end as soon as you join the road, so the "Average Speed Check" is a joke anyway as there would have been no start point for the calculation of an average.
