I too came through there, and agree it was flowing better than ever, the main reason was people were waiting out of the box on all sides until the way was clear, if they adopted this attitude at all times, you wouldn't be waiting through 4 light changes because the yellow box is full preventing the traffic getting over when the lights change. I think some of the junctions would be better as roundabouts, but only if people use the correct lane, signal, and know the laws for them.
