Misleading sign, 24th January

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 14:41:47 +0000
53.499545 -2.658342

There are currently roadworks at this location. At approximately where I have marked there is a construction access gap in the temporary barriers. There is also a sign indicating “A49 Wigan” at the exact same spot. This is causing those unfamiliar with the area to turn into the roadworks in the belief that this is the exit. I have witnessed it twice now and it happened to friends visiting us just now too. Can you please get this little blue sign moved. Thank you

Previous road markings have been partially erased and new ones applied however, the old ones still appear which makes it confusing when traffic is merging into lanes. It has been like this for months and each time I notice vehicles getting confused and close to causing a collision.
