No Entry sign is 'greyed out'

Reported via desktop in the Traffic Signs category anonymously at 00:14, Friday 19 September 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

I live off the road at the top of Kings Head Lane, Islip (a one-way Street, going down). In the last week or so, I have tried to stop 2 cars driving UP the Lane. They appeared to have ignored the No Entry Signs, but wouldn't stop to speak to me about why they had done so. I checked the No Entry signs and one of the signs seems to still be painted with a grey cross from a previous occasion (months ago) when the road was 2-way, with traffic lights, due to flooding. I wonder if drivers are thinking the road is still 2-way because of confusing signage. These are just 2 incidents that I have witnessed, but there could have been more.

    Photos attached 🤞. In my initial report I omitted to mention that the greyed-out sign is partially obstructed by a hanging basket put up by the owners. There was more obstruction when the flowers were in full bloom!
