This whole nonsense should've been fixed when I first emailed the then Road Minister Mr Gay late 2015

Subject: RMS installation incompetence
Dear Minister Gay,
I recently saw you on TV and you mentioned the new clearway times and the new signage between Blakehurst and Sutherland. The new clearway times have made a difference to traffic flow, but why are the signs in Hi Vis yellow, and why the need to attach them above existing no standing or no stopping signs?
No stopping or no standing, means no stopping or no standing anytime.
These bright yellow clearway signs I'm afraid are an eyesore, and to make matters worse the majority are now adopting jaunty angles. The signs are attached to a bracket with 2 bolts but the bracket is fastened to the power pole or its own metal pole with one bolt, so if the sign isn't tightened correctly, it can pivot on the single bolt as can be seen in my photos.
There are old white clearway I've seen, also at angles, and also fastened with one bolt. A rethink in the fastening dept could be warranted.
What is wrong with a Tech screw, top and bottom of the sign, fastened using an 18 volt impact screw driver.
In the big scheme of things this is small potatoes, but 5 klms of these gaudy bright yellow (near new) clearway signs at crazy angles advertise, in Hi Vis, RMS incompetence.
Please could you get someone from the relevant department to have a look and get the job done right.
Regards
Hans Stephens
