Metal sign on pole

A new, large Humps directional sign has slipped down the pole, becoming hazardous to pedestrians; in fact, someone has turned it so that it's now parallel to the road, and no longer serving its purpose. Personally I can't see the necessity of this and its matching sign on the opposite side of the road facing the other direction. It seems a good example of superfluous signage. I can't see why humps are signposted at all, since they are so ubiquitous on back and side streets, which everyone knows.

Offensive? Unsuitable? Tell us

This (in my view superfluous) sign remains a hazard, positioned too low, and is now showing signs of having been bashed (by passing traffic?). It really should be raised, out of harm's way.

It took a while, but the sign has been raised and righted, and presumably tightened.
