I would like to know if is there any companies that clean regularly the road signs?
- Decision
-
Sign cleaning is carried out on our behalf by our Highway Works Maintenance Term Contractor, Balfour Beatty, under a long-term contract.
We have a policy to clean signs on the MRN, Hierarchy 1 and Hierarchy 2 carriageway network once a year. For other hierarchies, road signs are cleaned where issues are identified by our local highway’s teams.
There is obviously a focus on those with an implication for safety of the public but given the budgetary pressure on the highways service, other issues may be given priority.
