The pedestrian crossing signs are the wrong way round!

Reported via mobile in the Signs & Bollards category anonymously at 18:45, Tue 12 August 2025

Sent to Aberdeenshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 920728.

I'm not sure what is going on with the council roads department but both pedestrian crossing signs are now the wrong way round! Please please look at where the crossing is and have a think before getting the spanners out. The sign should be on the nearside for driver's passing towards a crossing. It should also be on either side of the crossing, not facing out into the nationals. This has been going on for months, I hope it is fixed for the children crossing next week for school.
