A1104 Alford to Mablethorpe road just before Woodthorpe junction junction
Reported via desktop in the Sign (unlit) category by John Dorken at 11:47, Sun 15 June 2025
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2846795.
Road sign obscured by road side vegetation etc the same problem is on the A16 Louth by-pass where a large 10 foot sign is completely invisible to passing traffic until you stand next to it, This is a problem on many roads where signs are being obscured from traffic until the last minute. I do not know if there is a legal distance road signs should be visible but this could be a cause for accidents etc. These signs cost a lot of money to site and it appears there is little care in making sure they serve their purpose.
