30mph sign bent sideways - dangerous to pedestrians
Reported via iOS in the Sign problem category by Kevin Sowden at 20:40, Wed 14 December 2022
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4035635.
This sign has been bent sideways at some time, such that it leans across the footpath. It is potentially dangerous at any time but at night it is highly dangerous. I have just nearly walked into it while walking my dogs. At the least I would have damaged my face, perhaps broken my glasses or even my nose. At worst, especially in the current icy conditions, I could easily fall and break a limb. In short it is a health and safety risk that needs dealing with.
