Phasing of traffic lights not working correctly
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6811691.
The traffic light phasing is no longer operating on demand. This is causing queuing traffic on both the A2 and Coxhill. This has now been faulty for several weeks.
Traffic lights between Shepherdswell, A2 and Lydden race circuit.

We appreciate you taking the time to notify us of this fault.
We’re aware of this issue and despite previous attempts to restore the lights at this location, unfortunately we’ve been unsuccessful. The lights do cycle through all approaches and is currently on a fixed time plan rather than responding to waiting vehicles. This is due to some of the vehicle detector loops under the road being faulty and needing to be replaced. In the meantime, the site has been placed on a fixed time programme to allow traffic out of the side road. We're looking to replace the faulty loops and return the site to an adaptive timing (responding to waiting vehicles) as soon as it’s possible, however this is not a simple process. Whilst we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales can vary depending on the complexity of work required to rectify the issue, and it maybe sometime until this matter is resolved.
Kind Regards
National Highways
