Lights staying on red

Reported via desktop in the Traffic lights (NH) category anonymously at 15:59, Monday 13 April 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9286315.

Lights staying on red both ways, causing massive delays

Updates

  • Issue on A38 southbound: sequencing seems to be the issue the main flow of traffic on A38 only has green lights for around 10 seconds. This was causing long delays at 06:45hrs on the morning of Monday 13th April 2026. Similar delays observed on A38 northbound upstream of this roundabout on google maps at 17:30hrs.

    This sequence has changed recently as was much longer in the preceding week.

  • Traffic light sequencing still faulty 06:30 14/04/2026. A38 should have priority, but seems to be giving M6 toll junction 3 priority?
