Overgrown vegetation obstructing 30 mph speed limit signage

Please could this location be inspected and the overgrown vegetation cut back.

The issue is near the junction of the A40 and Windsor Road, travelling from Denham/Windsor Road towards Templewood Road.

The 30 mph speed limit signage is partly obscured by overgrown tree branches/hedge vegetation and is not clearly visible from a normal driver’s approach. There also do not appear to be clear visible repeater signs before this point from this direction of travel.

I am concerned this may affect driver awareness of the speed limit and road safety. I would be grateful if this could be reviewed and the vegetation cleared as soon as possible.

I have photographs/video showing the issue and can provide these if required.

Many thanks.

  • A Highway Officer will carry out an initial assessment of the tree, emergency issues will be corrected or made safe at the time of the inspection, if reasonably practicable to do so. In this context, making safe may constitute displaying warning notices, coning‐off or fencing‐off to protect the public from the tree or other suitable action.

    If the inspection team cannot make safe the defect at the time of inspection, then they will instigate the relevant emergency call procedures to ensure appropriate resources are mobilised cut back the tree which is blocking the signal, this may involve some traffic management and/or a cherry picker.

    There may also be occasions when the issue reported will be 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.
