Pity they don't remove the lights at the Brent Street/Spirehall Lane
junction in golders green. Until about 5 years ago it used to be a mini
roundabout which worked perfectly. Since they put the bloody lights in
you can guarantee a queue at virtually any time of the day and in the
rush hour all the way back to the A406 sometimes causing blocking of that
due to vehicles getting stuck in the junction because the back of the
queue isn't moving as much as they thought it would. The people who made the
decision to install them were either complete retards or they were getting
backhanders from vested interests.
