Default A10 crossroads with Carterhatch Lane

In article , John Rowland
says...
The traffic lights here have three (traffic) phases:
1) turn right from the main road
2) forward or left from the main road
3) forward, left or right from the minor road
...in that order. Every other junction which I know has these three phases
has them in the opposite order.

Does anyone know why this junction is different?

I guess you don't go very far. I know of several sets OTTOMH within 12
miles that work the same.

Thanks. Can you think of anything else those junctions have in common which
might explain it?

Probably a traffic flow study.

You will be waiting a long time for him to name several within 12
miles; he is prone to exaggeration. Also "Can you think" is a bit of
a long shot.


OOMA would have been more accurate than OTTOMH

And yet his answer was more useful than yours.

Maybe not within 12 but certainly within 20...

Bridlington. A614 junction with Bessingby Road. (technically not a X
roads but a T junction that works in the same order)

Beverley. Norwood Junction with New Walkergate.

Hull. Beverley Road junction with Cottingham Road.

Hull. Beverley Road Junction with Greenwood Avenue.

In fact, many of them in Hull work that way.

I bet that gave you something to do on your little run out -
shouldn't you have been concentrating on the road rather than on
traffic light sequences.

(PS : I can see why you're always getting lost, if you think that Hull
is within 12 miles of the A10 crossroads and Carterhatch Lane)

Not really, I've not been down those roads for a while.

Err, no because I'm a competent driver so being aware of everything
going on is important but thanks for confirming how **** you are.

I don't but it demonstrates how much of a retard you are as you seem to
be the only person here who was unable to work out that I meant in
relation to where I live.

You must think other people are as gullible yourself.

Of course you did not drive that way and looked out for them - it's
just coincidence that they just all happened to be on the same route.
Odd, given all the miles you do that you didn't just recall any
anywhere else.

The term - lying **** springs to mind.
