Can any of you well-connected EDF-ers please explain what that temporary traffic light is doing at this position? There are 3 lanes at that point of LL, and one is partly blocked, so there are still two lanes that traffic can use. Huh? Why, then perchance have the (totally insane) authorities put in this TTL?

Even more bizarrely, it is set so that both lights are green simultaneously, then they both go to red.

It seems crazy to me, but perhaps there is a simple explanation.

Can anyone enlighten us/me??

Thanks for reading this.

The double-red thing is for the third set, which lives on Upland Road, which is (or was last night) single-lane at the junction. Older readers will remember this arrangement from when it was first trialled in December, when the Upland Road holes was excavated for the second time, but before mining had started on Friern Road.
Thanks for that Burbage, that road didn't contribute any traffic on either occasion I went through the pesky things, which explains why I didn't notice it I guess. I just love the way these utilities just walk away and leave everything for weeks at a time. In many cities they'd get on with it in fear of a fine - in NY for instance. We should do that too - all that queueing traffic is bad for carbon emissions.

    • Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back; they were after my Brompton. Luckily there were only 3 of them so I managed to get away and got a woman to call the police, then they backed off, but not after having hit me in the back of the head first. Police said next time just give them what they want, but I sure as hell wasn't just going to hand over my bike to them!
    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
