Old Cross Lights
Thursday 4th September 7.50am
Old Cross lights working. Traffic from Bengeo backed up all the way to Warren Park Road.
Friday 5th September 7.50am
Old Cross lights not working. Is it Sunday? No traffic from all three directions!
Do we need these lights?

Had exactly the same thoughts. My five year old actually shouted "Great, the lights aren't working!" this morning. I have his name down for "traffic management" GCSE - I reckon he could pass it!

They weren't working again this evening. That's the third time in as many weeks that they've broken down.
What are the chances of the County Council getting the message?

And again this morning - everyone is so polite, letting others go before them. They probably realise they will still progress much more quickly than if the lights were working.
You wouldn't get that kind of co-operation in London - boy, do I miss that place. Not!!!

After two days out, the lights came back on again late Saturday. My money says they'll be out again before the end of the month - hopefully!

These lights do go out more than any others ... I'm sure it is sabotage! The problem is that although the traffic speeds up, pedestrians still walk there to cross the road and it then becomes a very dangerous lottery. When the lights are out it needs the police there to control the traffic. If not, there will be an 'accident' and pedestrians will be killed.
