There is a ramp in the road where they are doing roadworks with completely inadequate signage

Reported via mobile in the Current Roadworks - live information category anonymously at 17:51, Wed 24 May 2023

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

There is a sharp ramp in the road between the new road surface and the old one. The sign on my side of the road (the only one to suggest the ramp was there which was right next to the ramp itself) had completely blown over into the grass so you couldn’t see it and thus had no warning to reduce my speed adequately, and so when I drove over it, it knocked the steering alignment out on my car.

Moreover, coming back from the other direction, the sign on the other side of the road had been placed in very tall grass, effectively obscuring it from sight.

No photo as it would have been dangerous to stop on such a fast road with no places to park.
