Traffic lights : something wrong with the filters

• Awaiting further information

• The Council states above "awaiting further information"

  The information they asked for via email is MY address. It is unclear why they want my address, because I don't live at the traffic lights. It's worrying they would ignore an issue putting pedestrians at risk at a busy crossing just because someone doesn't email back their own home address. Bureaucracy!

• The issue is probably that drivers going straight from Clough Rd towards Cottingham Rd frequently run the red light (almost every cycle and often two at a time). This means right-turning traffic that has no filter arrow has to turn long after the red light has come on in order to clear the junction (though of course they should give way to pedestrians already crossing).

• No, drivers were not running the red light to cause this. This began after the junction was altered and the same also happened on Inglemire Lane after that crossing was altered with timings being out (which other locals complained of and which was eventually fixed). I've been crossing those roads regularly my whole life and the situation coincided with the recent crossing works. It's to "keep traffic flowing" but it seems there was little concern for dangers to pedestrians in doing that. IMO crossings need a period of monitoring after such alterations.
