Large Electronic signs at beginning of the Dover Traffic Protocol Scheme (Dover TAP) haven't be, 27th February
Good Afternoon, the 2 large Electronic signs that show the 40 mph limit when the Dover Traffic Protocol system is activated ( Dover TAP) haven't been working since December 2023. I reported via Twitter back in July 2023 that the left hand one had stopped working, then in December the right hand one stopped as well. Today I nearly got caught out as a Lorry was just driving past one of the smaller signs when I noticed it was on! It also doesn't help that a couple of the smaller signs along the stretch have also seemed to have stopped working I am finding that without the larger signs working, people are even more ignoring the limit.

Floods, 6th March
New houses were built in that area.
Someone overlooked the drainage system (doesn't seem to be one), because the road gets severely flooded every time it rains.
The water simply has nowhere to go.
The torrential rains in the past couple of days made the issue even worse.
