The four way traffic lights constantly change when no cars are waiting on side roads

Reported via mobile in the Other Road Issues category by Local Resident at 19:51, Fri 20 October 2023

Sent to Hampshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5120627.

The four-way traffic lights change every time I drive here, which is every day, and stop the main London Road traffic even though there is never any traffic waiting on the side roads. So all that is happening is the main flow of traffic has to stop and idle constantly, wasting fuel and wearing brake pads, when traffic would be better if it kept moving. Are there no sensors in these traffic lights/road surface? If these are just in a timer they could do with an update. Why would they change if there is no waiting traffic?
