This years long wet spring has meant that trees and bushes have grown more than usual and while normally occasional signs have been hidden this year it has become a real problem.
In the last fortnight we have driven from Oxfordshire to Somerset and back on different routes and have just returned from a trip to Lincolnshire and back and at times have had real trouble looking for signs.
Both journies were not unfamiliar to us, so we didn't have SatNav on but we were very conscious of even signs for motorway slip roads being invisible, let alone speed limit signs.
On one occasin we drew up at a T junction and the sign on the wall directly in front of us was so completely grown over, we didn't even see it until I took a sideways look as we turned in the direction we knew we had to go.
At the family gathering in Lincolnshire, where most had used Satnav to get there, everyone there had the same experience, of signs being invisible and over grown.
Surely the relevant authorities should be looking out for this kind of traffic hazard and dealing with it. They send teams round to clean signs regulalry, why not trim back the greenery?
