Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2873344.
Dual Carriageway. A17. Near Beckingham village (Lincolnshire), Between Chapel Street (Beckingham) and where A17 crosses River Witham. Map attached.
DUAL CARRIAGEWAY triangular warning sign has fallen over (see attached picture from Google Street View - obviously been like it for a while).
Saw it laid in same position yesterday (28th Jan 2026). Fast piece of road, unlit and needs warning sign to advise drivers of the change of road type. Carries a lot of traffic and have been numerous collisions near this complex junction.
New 'Dual Carriageway' sign needed in central reservation.
