Devon County Council has a policy to remove unauthorized signs from the roadside in accordance with Section 132 of the Highways Act. Discretion is exercised in town and village centers with regards to displays and goods outside local shops, and with local fetes and charitable events, but if the sign obstructs the pavement or cycle way and results in a significant hazard to pedestrians, or interferes with visibility for vehicles, it will be removed.

The improvements will provide two new link roads to increase the capacity of the junction and remove congestion and delay at its busiest periods.
Dr Stephen Ladyman, Roads Minister, said:
"This junction is a key gateway and these improvements will tackle congestion, improve accessibility and make journey times more reliable.
"This will help to boost the economic regeneration of Merseyside - bringing benefits to regional businesses and road users."
A new footbridge/cycleway crossing will also be provided to improve journeys across the M62 for pedestrians and cyclists.
The improvements are expected to start in Spring 2007 and construction will take approximately 22 months.
