We also seem to have gone backwards on area control of a set of
lights. Do these schemes still exist in London? I keep being
stopped, particularly at light-controlled pedestrian crossings, in a
way that sug gests that each set of lights functions independently.

Perhaps there _is_ area control of the lights, but it is programmed
to stop you as often as possible?

What happened to that set of linked traffic lights on the A4 near Slough
that was programmed to let you through if you drove at 30 mph, but to ensure
that you hit every red light in turn if you drove slower than 25 or faster
than 35? Does that still exist?
