Road signage errors for diversion route.

Reported via desktop in the Roads/highways category anonymously at 22:59, Wednesday 11 February 2026

Sent to Norfolk County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8898435.

A1101 near Three Holes (Upwell), between junctions with Mudd's Drove & Silt Road (B1094).

A recently installed automatic warning sign on the A1101 (see photos) displays whenever the A1101 is impassable due to flooding at Welney, (which happens a lot during wet weather).

The sign advises drivers to adopt a diversion route, by following an horizontal, hollow, black arrow on a yellow background (see photos).

However, at the next junction - A1101/Silt Road (B1094)/Halfpenny Toll Road - there is no diamond symbol on any of the signs, - (it should direct traffic down Silt Road - B1094).

Any driver assuming the absence of that diamond means they should continue straight on, will then find themselves in Welney where the road is closed.

NB there is no diamond symbol on the signs at the far end of Silt Road (junction with A1122) either.

This situation, doubtless an oversight and easily remedied, makes the presence of that automatic sign pointless.
