Badby village, speed signs as you approach the village from Daventry towards Banbury along the A361, signs are covered, not only that, the 40 mph speed limit needs to be introduced earlier along this section of the road due to the sharp slope of the road into the village. As a driver of an HGV the vehicle picks up speed very quickly due to the slope and the 40mph signs not been seen.

The 40mph signs need to be introduced earlier & needs to be bigger.
