Default Red lights in Criclewood, Harrow and elsewhere
"John Rowland" typed


Another thing - there is a pedestrian crossing in Kenton Road near the
Northwick Park roundabout which regularly goes red (to vehicles) even though
there are never any pedestrians anywhere near. Is this a malfunction or
design?

I've not tried that one. Are you sure that it doesn't make pedestrians
wait so long that they cross long before the lights stop the traffic?
There are certainly some on heavily-used routes that keep pedestrians
waiting inordinately long. (Finchley Road (A41) just south of Platts
Lane/Fortune Green Rd is one such example.)
