The chamber is drawing attention to what it calls the poor condition of many provincial signs on secondary roads and highways.
“The problem in Digby County was so bad by 2021 that action was taken to communicate with the municipality to see what could be done,” the chamber says. “The municipality has been doing everything in their power to help but were told it was a province-wide problem.” “We also know the challenges that the elements can present,” he says. “Public Works has committed funding for maintenance with a focus on ensuring destination, regulatory and critical warning signs are well maintained.”
“Over time the elements cause the reflectivity of the sign to decrease and the overall message to fade. During significant wind and storm events, signs may blow over and need either substantial repairs or replacement,” says Andrea. The West Nova Chamber of Commerce says it’s been told by Public Works that a safety audit is being done in the area this spring that should lead to improvements.
One resident of the neighbouring Municipality of Clare who sent photos of sign damage in her area told the chamber, “In rural N.S., these backroads are the backbone of countless villages. In my village, nearly every sign is gone or almost.”
