Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when the traffic signs on the M1 southbound carriageway between junctions 11 and 10 were last inspected for overgrown foliage; and whether they adhere to the minimum clear visibility distance as specified in the Traffic Signs Manual.
This question was answered on 25th October 2018
Highways England inspects the M1 between junctions 11 and 10 southbound on a weekly basis and its inspection regime includes visibility of traffic signs. Highways England is aware that visibility of some signs is becoming obscured by overgrown foliage and plan to carry out work to cut vegetation back during the week commencing 22 October.
