Timings of signals causing delays
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4011808.
Since the start of the works on the A63 castle junction the signals at the intersection of Queen street and the A63 are causing a build up of traffic as far as the king George Dock roundabout. The sequence changes to stop the traffic on the A63 as soon as cars arrive on queen street to join the main road this means that to allow 1 or 2 cars to join all the traffic is halted on the a63. Over the last week i have counted how many cars get through the lights before they change again to allow to traffic to join and at most i have seen 12 but most times it has been 7-8 vehicles. To reduce congestion on this busy road this sequence needs to be looked at to prioritise the large volume of traffic and not the few cars joining here. After this point traffic is free flowing along the rest of the A63. The story is the same in the opposite direction.
