I found this damage interesting because

  1. There are high winds here (coastal area) but the frontal area of a sign seems pretty small
  2. I thought they would make signs out of more corrosion resistant materials

These are only a few of tens if not hundreds of downed signs in the area

    Wow, that’s sad. Yes we are, they really layer on the stuff here, at places where the lorry has to pass multiple times (e.g. a roundabout) you can even get ‘salt dune’ deposits from it building up. Wrecks the drivetrain on my bicycle - inevitably have to replace components once winter is over.
