Does anyone know why the green arrow on the lights at the Barry Road - Lordship Lane junction (by the Plough)


i.e. when you are turning right into Barry Road from Lordship Lane by the Dulwich Library - there used to be a green arrow here, but whilst the light are still there, it seems the signal has been turned off. Any ideas why?


Thanks!

I don't think it's ever been an all-day feature. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it isn't, and I've not worked out exactly when or why. It's a TfL-controlled junction (the number for reporting faults goes through to TfL), so it'll be run by their big computer. Which means it could be down to anything, and not necessarily on purpose.
Living close to this junction i can advise that the green filter light seems to operate during rush hours but not consistently so. What is annoying is that the traffic lights for those coming un Barry Road from the Rye only allow 2 cars and i bus through before changing. Sometimes it can take me over 5 mins to turn right into LL to get to work. I now take the longer route via Barry Road, Upland/Underhill and Crystal Palace Road to get to GRove Vale - takes me about 5 mins longer but I am at least moving and not stuck at the lights.

    • Call National Grid and say you have a problem with a gas pipe  0800 111 999  and with luck they will fix it for free.  Most likely my diagnosis.   Some nutter had done their own gas plumbing in my house and National Grid blanked off both a supply to an old gas fire and a wrought iron pipe in the bathroom that supplied to the old bathroom water heater originally in the house. Extremely unlikely to be connected, may be from the days of gas lighting (mainly over by the 1920s) .  Gas connection will have long since been modernised.  If it hasn't been blanked off then just turn it on and sniff, or if you are like me light it.  This is how gas fitters did it in the past,  Although at your own risk (you are more likely to asphyxiate from natural gas, it is not poisonous, and the smell is an additive, so you can smell leaks. Chances are you are old enough to have used Bunsen burners at school. The end of the video is great, the biggest source of gas is your boiler, and if you house hasn't blown up already......  
    • Thanks, that's very helpful to have that confirmed! Really wasn't sure what we were dealing with. Will look into a gas engineer...
    • Ah, dozy me.  Thanks for pointing that out.   I was so impressed by the MOT details being there I  didn't  expect anything else could be so didn't check any further.  I've not owned anything with an internal combustion engine for decades.  Recently found a light tool that I've a dim memory of using for (??) timing checks.
