Decreased visibility due to works signage

Due to ongoing bridge repairs on the Rakaia gorge bridge there is a trailer mounted digital display with the bridge open/closed hours displayed on SH77 at the corner of Leaches road. Due to the poor positioning of the trailer too close to the intersection drivers heading west on leaches road and at the stop sign cannot see cars coming from the south. So far I have seen two near misses where the vehicle heading north and turning into Leaches road can't see the vehicle obscured by the sign and cuts across the corner.

Despite being made aware of the problem Transit NZ have chosen not to have it moved.

Hi Excelsior20, thank you for your very detailed story! When you say you saw two near misses, where were you at the time? Were you heading south on SH77? Did seeing these near misses cause you take any action? You indicated that you alerted Transit NZ: did you do anything else, like change the route you take, or change the way you drive?
