Inspection and repair

Road markings and signage

We carry out regular highway inspections to locate defective street signage and road markings but also rely on members of the public informing us of signs that are damaged and lines that become faded where they live. If you know of any defective signage or lines please contact Highways .

Street signs and street nameplates often become damaged following road traffic accidents, vandalism or inconsiderate driving. If you see someone damage any of the above please contact Highways . The following information will assist us in locating and repairing the defect as quickly as possible:

• Street name,
• Nearest house number or landmark,
• The type of sign,
• A description of the problem (e.g. it has been hit / there is a sign missing / there are wires exposed),
• If the damage was caused by a motorist a vehicle registration number will assist us in recouping any costs.

If you would like to request additional and new street signage or street lining please contact the Traffic Team on 01422 392162 who will be able to offer advice and investigate whether lining or signage is suitable at the location you request.
