National Highways installs incorrect EV charging signage at Liphook Services on A3

By Eve

National Highways has erected misleading electric vehicle charging signage at Liphook Services on the A3, according to the Haslemere Herald. The agency appears to have installed incorrect directional or informational signs for EV charging facilities at the motorway service area. The error highlights ongoing challenges in standardising wayfinding for charging infrastructure on England's strategic road network.

Why it matters: Accurate signage is critical for driver confidence and utilisation rates at motorway charging hubs. Procurement teams and site operators must ensure that highway authorities coordinate signage specifications with actual charging layouts to avoid confusion and underuse of installed capacity.
