I was watching News Night last night and this topic was being discussed,
The case against traffic lights
At last someone has finally stated what most of we motorists have always known, traffic lights disrupt the actual flow of traffic.
Quote:
When lights are out of action, do we start crashing into each other? Does traffic seize up?
No, we approach slowly and take it in turns. Courtesy thrives and congestion dissolves. Pedestrians are seen as fellow road-users rather than obstacles in the way of the next light.

The above is absolutely true.
