Sequencing changed - significant delays

Reported via Android in the Traffic lights (NH) category anonymously at 21:10, Sat 16 August 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8034709.

The light sequencing on the Northbound A49 at the junction with the A465 seems to have changed and is causing significant delays to North bound traffic with delays stretching half a mile and 20 min delays.

It's been causing delays all week and affecting numerous bus services

Updates

  • Still absolutely horrendous. Traffic build up all day Sunday.

  • Still not sorted out, traffic creating tailbacks northbound approaching Asda roundabout. Only letting 3 cars through at a time and then next set of lights changing out of sync.

  • Please can the traffic light sequence be sorted. The way they currently are resulting in a nasty car accident yesterday on the crossroads to Holme Lacy Rod (17/08/2025). Cars blocking the junction to Walnut Tree Avenue. The traffic light sequence has changed and is letting a minimal amount of cars through at the Asda Junction. Please Highways put the lights back to how they were, where traffic flows better before another seriously accident happens. Thank you.
