“I had to drive closer to the sign to look at the words written on it. I did not want to take the wrong turn.”

She said the damaged road sign inconvenie­nced road users, especially those from outstation.

A Besut District Council spokesman said the council would send its personnel to check the road sign.

They will identify the authority that had jurisdicti­on over it and inform the party.
