What a waste of time that would be!
Near me, the council put in a bridge and decided that a new set of lights were required to allow traffic in and out of the resulting service road. So now we queue up for ages, sometimes the area gets gridlocked, all for the odd car which might emerge from one of three premises!
A while ago, they switched thes lights off and all the problems went away, no jams, no accidents and free flowing trafic – YAY! They were off for ages and we assumed that the council had realised they had wasted our money on this very expensive scheme.
You only need traffic lights when traffic volumes are high. The rest of the time, it’s better to leave motorists to use their judgement based on the rules of the road. “Numpty” at the highways department doesn’t understand this however.
A few weeks ago, on went the lights again! The jams are back, pollution is up and drivers face wasted time and fuel again.
Which halfwit in the council is responsible? I dunno, but we SO need smaller governement! Not only is this traffic scheme a waste of money, but the people who were responsible for putting it in!
