It was explained by LCC Traffic Officer that the junction is not suitable for traffic lights as it does not comply with current regulations for traffic light installation. I think it is due to the approach from the Knuzden side.
Although the temp lights appear to be working they are very unreliable.
7am Saturday morning the lights were stuck on read from the Guide side at least - if not all of them.
Again this morning at 7am they were stuck again. After waiting 5 minutes for them to change cars behind me started to pull out of the waiting line of cars to go through on red. They met car head on comming around the blind bend.
Once I had got through them - on red as they never changed in 10 minutes of waiting - I phoned the Police. I was informed that the company concerned were on there way to fix them. I asked if some Police Officers could be sent to prevent an accident and explained what had happened. All she said again was that the company were on the way. I said "so you are not going to send anyone to prevent an accident?" and she did not reply. I told her how useless I thought she was and hung up.
