Tree foliage is blocking the traffic light.

Reported via mobile in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 22:21, Monday 11 May 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9437302.

The traffic light is hidden because of the tree foliage on the left heading towards Cannock, you cannot see it until you are level with it. Also because the traffic light is missing in the central section this adds to the problem and when there is lorry sat in the right lane you cannot see the other traffic light on the opposite side of the junction. Today, I witnessed a car nearly go over on red and break hard once they were level with the light.
