Traffic lights let through 3 lots of vehicles before turning red again

Reported via desktop in the Traffic lights (NH) category anonymously at 15:52, Tuesday 14 April 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9293079.

The traffic lights let through 3 lots of vehicles before turning red again causing a huge back up of traffic on the roundabout and not allowing vehicles off of the A335 from swaythling to the roundabout. The light sequence is prioritising the M27 slip road traffic when there is no traffic on the slipway. This is an ongoing issue especially in the morning at about 7 - 8 pm, it takes about 45 minutes to get off of the A335 to get across the roundabout to go the other exits on the roundabout. Every exit apart from the A335 has traffic lights which is causing the back up of traffic all hours of the day on the A335.
