How to report incorrect signage

[Mr Classic]

Road on the way to work goes from a 40 to a 30 limit, although there is a change in repeater signs there actually isn't a full size 30mph sign. There is a speed camera shortly up the road in the 30 zone so I guess some people may be caught out. Is there any way of reporting the fact there isn't a new limit sign?

Highways Agency or local council?

Where is this place, please? Perhaps a Streeview link would be the best way of showing it.

Is this in a built-up area, system of street lighting, etc?

If not, I don't believe the "30" is enforceable.

I believe having 30mph repeaters at all goes against guidelines

Not quite true.

If there are street lights less than x metres apart (sorry, can't be arsed to look up what the actual number is) then you're correct that 30 repeaters are not to be used. But in the absence of street lights, or where the lights are more than x metres apart, then there should be 30 repeaters. Regardless of street lighting, there should also be full-size signs, one on each side of the road, at the start of the 30 limit.

Only if there is also a system of streetlights less than the maximum distance (200 yards?) apart.

There are hundreds of examples throughout the UK.

Highways Agency, now Highways England, don't look after normal local type roads, they only have motorways and some trunk roads. all others are maintained by either you county council, or you local council.
