Timing of traffic lights, junction of A5 Watling St and Vicarage Rd
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3772970.
Dangerous timing of traffic light sequence. Vehicles travelling west on A5 approach at speeds of 50mph, but the amber sequence is so short that vehicles have to slam on their brakes to stop before the lights change to red. HGVs cannot and do not stop. A longer amber phase is needed before there is a serious accident. Can a traffic engineer please investigate as soon as possible?
