Box Junction cameras to be rolled London wide following successful pilot
In message .com, at
04:18:50 on Tue, 26 Jul 2005, Earl Purple remarked: Often caused by a bad junction, usually one with 2 traffic lights close together. The second light is red far too long, and so traffic from one phase of the first light fills up all the available space and traffic from the second phase can never move. I've seen that in Central London. A junction on a one-way street where a road joins from the left. The road ahead fills up with traffic emerging from your left, and there's no gap between the rear of the last car to emerge, and the box. The traffic then sits there, stationary, all the time your light is green. Just as it starts to move, and leave you a gap to escape into across the box, your light goes red. The gap then fills up with traffic emerging from your left. Rinse and repeat. -- Roland Perry |
