Fixed
100m south of Greyhound roundabout - Southbound carraigeway
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7984311.
In May I took the trouble to report to you an anomalous situation relating to the 50mph speed restriction whereby there is a de restriction sign after the imposition of the 50mph limit and before a further 50mph sign. One is visible being located on the central reservation, the nearside one being obscured by trees that you have failed to maintain. A case number 7585668 was allocated and you reported to me on 20 May that the case was closed since your officers carry out a monthly inspection and implied the matter would be resolved. Whether due to forgetfulness, or incompetence, the situation, as of 5 August, (some 10 weeks later,) has NOT been resolved - the de-restriction sign is still visible. Please sort out the signage and do not close this case until it has been done. I am loathe to escalate this through local Councillors, for something that is so simple to remedy.

-
This has been passed to the Highway Officer to investigate, they will carry out an inspection within the next 10 working days.
All our roads are subject to safety inspections, and this includes identifying any road signs that are badly damaged or degraded so we may already have a job raised to resolve it, if this is the case we will update you that it is a duplicate job/enquiry.
If we were not aware of this issue, we will update you on what action will be taken, this may include adding the road markings to a package of works for the location to be completed at a later date.
There may also be occasions when the issue reported will not be repaired as it has been classified as a minor defect and does not pose any risk to either the safety or the integrity of the highway, these are called minimum recording levels as specified in our Highways Safety Inspection Policy in these cases no action will be taken.
