And the sign opposite one not straight is overgrown by vegetation

With the growing season upon us, vegetation is now obscuring the sign on the east side of Benson Lane, opposite the point where a change of speed limit sign has been twisted round for months. It means road users have to have local knowledge, in order to be be able to drive safely and legally. I have seen an otherwise more than competent motorist with an immaculate record take the whole stretch at 28 mph because they did not see the NSL signage. I have also seen other drivers traveling north speed up before the NSL zone, and get tempted into over-ambitious overtaking: this may be because they cannot see where the 30-mph limit ends, but reason it must be somewhere along that lane. And I have seen drivers traveling in the other direction continue at 50-60 mph well into the residential area: this may be because they cannot see a 30-mph sign, and it is not so easy to judge further down the road at what point the street lighting becomes regular therefore limit 30 mph by default.

Wonky signs have been fixed: thank you. Replacements look like sparkly new ones. Overgrowing vegetation not now so much of a problem.
