The traffic lights at Cricklewood Lane / Claremont Road are a particular
conundrum, because they only allow about 4 vehicles to emerge from busy
Cricklewood Lane before quiet Claremont Road has a full minute of green
phase. This has the effect of punishing traffic which sticks to the main
Cricklewood Lane, and rewarding traffic which rat-runs down The Vale and
Claremont Road or Minster Road and Lichfield Road.

Typically in Barnet, the light will have an "off" phase on either red or
green depending on how long it takes the engineer to replace the bulbs.
There's a few that have been dead for weeks - even with the council
being notified.
