Traffic light sequencing is causing tailbacks
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8480147.
At 12:41 today, traffic was queuing on the A5 Northbound to the Old Stratford roundabout all the way back to the H3 (Milton Keynes north exit) causing a delay of at least 10 minutes. It's a Saturday. Traffic was not unduly heavy overall, but clearly the lights sequencing was inadequate as there was very little traffic coming from any other direction. Could you please adjust it to balance it with the other lighter traffic flows?

Traffic chaos at traffic lights junction St Mary’s Lane and Hornchurch Road in Upminster. This problem is unacceptable traffic is converged from all roads as the frequency of the lights changing allows traffic to continue forward. Pedestrians are not able to cross when Green man showing. There should be a yellow box or a change in the timing of traffic lights to allow a space between green lights. Incident waiting to happen.
