The finger to direct NORBITAL to Chalcombe Rd is missing. Imagine that you’re not local. How would you know you need cross the road at this point?

  • The sign is in the wrong place. It should be opposite Chalcombe Ave. Why should someone coming to this junction have to look right to see that they need to go left? Would you have such a defect for a road sign?
