Traffic running great now traffic lights are not working

Reported via desktop in the Traffic lights (NH) category anonymously at 19:53, Mon 15 April 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5857246.

The lights on this roundabout have been out for 3 days and traffic and queues have been reduced considerably. The A616 has been almost free flowing even on a Monday when all schools were going back which shows when the lights are working they are causing major delays. Even the local forums are all saying how easy its been for the last few days. Surely a mile of traffic trying to get to the roundabout all day everyday cant be good for the environment. Is it not possible to monitor this situation for a month without the lights then a month with ? I think you'd be surprised at the results.

Please dont fix them
