Need Attention

Reported via mobile in the Traffic lights (NH) category anonymously at 19:20, Thu 22 February 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5617488.

What an absolute horrendous journey I have to endure daily with the constant lack of concern and consideration all the people like me who live over Wyre. Traffic lights on Shard are not acceptable. We the people of Wyre have had to endure shoddy traffic light sequences, timing and failure to keep drivers safe for the last 3 years. Patience has been tested to the limits and if I hear one more time wait till the by pass is fully open one more time. Patience’s have been lost by us all. Maybe it’s time we all claimed compensation for all the inconvenience loss of earning, the list is endless.

Updates

  • Thank you for your report on 22 February regarding the A585 Windy Harbour to Skippool project.

    We apologise for any delays or inconvenience caused on Shard Road and Mains Lane last week. As soon as we became aware of the issue, we worked immediately to resolve it and changed the traffic light timings.

    On Wednesday 21 February 2024 we finished the installation and testing of the permanent traffic lights at Skippool Bridge junction which are working on a timed system until we finish the installation and testing of traffic detectors under the road surface, due to be completed this week.

    Once the traffic detectors are completed, the lights will be more intuitive and will react to the traffic flows, altering the timings of the lights accordingly without the need for manual intervention or monitoring.

    Our technicians manually altered the timing of the lights on 22 February to allow traffic to run more smoothly. The lights will continue to be monitored during peak periods and if required, any further adjustments will be made until the system is finalised this week.

    Your patience and understanding during this phase of work are greatly appreciated.

    If you have any further queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

    Kind regards,

    The A585 Windy Harbour to Skippool project.
