Dill Hall Lane Traffic Lights
 
At long last, after years of traffic backing up dill hall lane, waiting to turn onto Dunk. Way, they`ve now put a stagger on the lights.:wave8:

all they need to do now is teach people mainly taxi drivers with kids as passengers on their way home from school to stop at red

The only time those lights were any good is when they weren't working and traffic was allowed to flow naturally, very rarely was there a snare up

I go through those lights every morning on way to work and at half eight they are a nightmare, doesn`t help when drivers don`t know the highway code and won`t go into the yellow cross hatch marks, ends up only one car gets to turn right.:mad:
Hopefully it will be better now, find out next week.

Correct :D

Box junctions. These have criss-cross yellow lines painted on the road (see 'Road markings'). You MUST NOT enter the box until your exit road or lane is clear. However, you may enter the box and wait when you want to turn right, and are only stopped from doing so by oncoming traffic, or by other vehicles waiting to turn right. At signalled roundabouts you MUST NOT enter the box unless you can cross over it completely without stopping.

Someone once went to the trouble of printing that, laminating it and fastening it to the traffic lights, for some reason they were removed.:confused:

As muich as I would like to blame taxi drivers, they are the last ones to blame, they just shoot off and don`t care whether they cut someone up.
