Time for a whinge.
Not sure if this topic has been covered before so here goes.
Does anybody have anything positive to say about traffic lights positioned towards the bottom of m/way entry slip roads ?
They have been around for a number of years now and I just don't get it.
I understand the general idea in that they are designed to asssit traffic entering a congested m/way but in my experience they just don't work.
Having worked on the m/way network for a number of years I have come to the conclusion that they are a total waste of time and money.
They are only in operation at peak times but how can they assist traffic joining an already busy m/way ?
If lane 1 is already congested what difference are traffic lights going to make ?
Some traffic lights are quite amusing to watch because by the time they have changed to green and you have selected first gear they are changing back to amber.
So in a nut shell I just get them especially the ones that I have seen over the years.
Opinions anybody ?
Whinge over - off to bed.
