Missing 40MPH Road Signs

Reported via desktop in the Signs category anonymously at 09:56, Wed 7 May 2025

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 422677.

Cranfield Road/Crabtree Lane Speed Limit - A00480

The above requires 40mph speed limit signs to be erected in Crabtree Lane. These signs are needed to ensure the 40mph limit is in place for vehicles travelling from Aspley Guise turning either left or right out of Crabtree Lane along Cranfield Road which is designated as being 40mph. Additionally any vehicle travelling from Aspley Guise along Lower End Road Wavendon will not see a 40mph sign until they reach a 40 mph repaeater sign attached to a SID opposite Wavendon House Drive, Milton Keynes. Clearly this issue needs to be resolved as a matter of urgency as pedestrians crossing Lower End Road do not expect vehicles to be travelling at the national speed limit on a road designated as 40mph. Please contact me if you require more detailed information.
