I found this damage interesting because
- There are high winds here (coastal area) but the frontal area of a sign seems pretty small
- 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

Several of these just seem to be old signs with poles that have rusted through.

Yes, all weakened and then blown over in a recent storm. Corrosion from sea-salt in the air maybe? There are tens of them about, which does not seem normal

Not just sea salt. Signs down across Glasgow and I think that’s chip salt and neglect.

Hadn’t considered that, grit lorries must fling a lot at the base with each pass.
