Mobile dot matrix sign causing congestion/ distraction, 12th March

Tue, 12 Mar 2024 10:12:35 +0000
53.303283 -2.971855

Good morning, There is mobile dot matrix sign positioned just before J5 southbound M53 as three lanes merge into two. The sign has been positioned in the past week and is a long distance away from the carriageway. The text is small and there is a large amount of detail describing the roadworks due to take place over 20+ weeks on the M53. The positioning of this sign and the small text is causing traffic to slow significantly at the point of the lane merger, which is causing a large amount of unnecessary and potentially dangerous congestion through distraction especially at rush hour. Please could this sign be moved or a much larger sign be installed? Many thanks.

The full length of the M53 embankments are littered with rubbish. However, this exit at the traffic lights with the A41, is particularly bad. I understand that the last few years have been difficult for everyone but the rubbish has been building up on the M53 and is now very unsightly.

M53 JCT 5 eastham north, long standing series of pot holes., 15th February

Wed, 15 Feb 2023 19:16:43 +0000
53.303577 -2.976432

Past JCT 5 m53 northbound where the m53 merges into 3 lanes on the first lane there is a series of deep potholes in quick succession. I counted 4 deep surface imperfections which have been there for in excess of 6 months. Potentially damaging the right side of suspension components. The direct opposite side m53 southbound approaching JCT 5 has three also. Could you please advise on potential repairs to improve safety as it is impacting on driver behaviour to avoid, if yes, within what kind of timeframe? Thank you
