Just to update, I fired off the eform as soon as you posted it KATEX (thank-you). No immediate response to that so this a.m. so I rang the Highways Telephone Number direct.

Am impressed. Got transferred straight away to a person, not a machine, who knew exactly what and where I was talking about. They informed me that each and every crossing on Union Road is being updated as they are out of date and cameras are being fitted. He presumes the length of time for crossing is dictated also by the proximity of the mini-roundabout further up but that there is now a standard time that should be allowed given that young children and the eldery/disabled my need longer to get across the road.

They have engineers updating the crossings in the area at the moment and so he will get one of them to look at it but - as always - it comes down to money. They have assured me that it will be investigated this week and I can call back on Friday.

Will update this thread when I have extra news. Thanks for the assistance everyone. x
