Lightings changing incredibly quickly

Reported via mobile in the Traffic lights (NH) category anonymously at 22:20, Wednesday 3 June 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9557668.

When approaching the lights which were green they suddenly turned to amber and then to red extremely suddenly without lingering on amber for anytime. I had to emergency stop.

It was a shock how quickly they changed on this roundabout / intersection. They then changed again from Red to barely stayed on amber and straight to green extremely quickly again.

The timings of these traffic lights is too quick and doesn't give enough time to stop, get ready or go safely like usual. For someone approaching the sudden change was dangerous as there was a car behind me at the time and it could have caused an accident.

  • Please sort out the road markings here, nearly every day I have a near miss of people not using the lanes correctly (understanably as they are confusing) worst bit of road markings I've come across and I do nearly 30,000 miles a year. Thanks
