Paul from SafeSpeed on BBC Breakfast today on Driving Offence Cameras

Most gridlock (or starvation to be more technical) occurs where there are two signals in close succession, such that the space between the signals is filled quickly by one side and then the other side will have nowhere to go. Actually this is commonly the situation at Henlys Corner for the A406 Westbound. In the last couple of weeks they have been resurfacing and there is currently no box junction and the approach has become a lot emptier as a result. Going on to the Edinburgh Bypass (A720) somewhere near Hermiston Gate was the closest to that I've seen. A roundabout with traffic lights, and a heavy stream of traffic at 6 o'clock (me) and 3 o'clock. Every cycle, the traffic from 6 o'clock would stream onto the roundabout until a red appeared on the roundabout, then stop, queued all the way round the roundabout across my entrance. To move at all necessitated pushing out on the red as soon as a gap appeared (and before the traffic to the right started moving). -- David Taylor |
