Overgrown foilage obstructing vehicle detection unit
Reported via desktop in the Tree/hedge restricting available highway category anonymously at 16:13, Wed 23 July 2025
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2850542.
Foilage has overgrown to the point it is negatively impacting the detection of vehicles within the junction. This presents a safety concern as the detector is used to extend the clearance period for vehicles clearing the junction.
