Updates

  • 1 mile of tailing traffic from Flimwell park to the traffic lights at Flimwell A268/A21 at 07.20 this morning. It tool until 07.50 to get to and through the lights as it is only letting about 5-8 cars through the lights at a time. Been like this since last week, can someone go and take a look at them please, very frustrating.

  • Thank you for making your report,

    We have had an engineer attend the site and we've identified a detector fault. during their visit they made adjustments to the traffic signal controller. These changes have been made to improve the operation of Phase B, which controls the movement referred to in your enquiry, and should allow this phase to receive more green time than it had been receiving while the detector fault was affecting the junction.

    Kind Regards,

    National Highways.

    State changed to: Closed
