Letter: Doesn’t the County Council Have a Duty to Clean Roadsigns?

I drove from Dorking to Guildford on the A25 last night (Tuesday, October 3) and was astonished by the number of central-lighted traffic bollards that were unlit, and super-reflective bollards which were so dirty they could barely be seen.

Similarly, speed signs and repeater speed signs are often so dirty they are hardly visible in the dark. This is both dangerous and unhelpful to motorists.

Doesn’t Surrey County Council have a statutory duty to maintain road signs? Clearly, there has been no servicing or cleaning of these essential signs undertaken for many months.

Editor’s comment: This letter will be forwarded to SCC for a response.

    Agreed! Likewise to prune back overhanging foliage, which frequently badly obscures signs, particularly those with key information about directions/road numbers. It’s dangerously distracting to have to peer at these trying to make out the details.
