Bus traffic lights bottom of Dog Kennel Hill - now added to Ask Councillor

[James Barber]

Let me raise this again. What a nightmare.

[worldwiser]

I agree. Get the lights removed entirely. They add nothing.

[Nigello]

I remember the water works at the FH/Dunstan's Roads junction, when "temporary" lights were added to "help the traffic flow". The works finished, the lights remained. Stealthy Southwark?

Were these lights ever mended?. Am sick of waiting a red light when there's no bus in sight and when the bus light is red, the buses swerve into the car space and then their lights go green and the bus has to wait, as well as us motorists

[PeckhamRose]

LOVE the comment the councillor made about the rights of busses over other traffic. Meanwhile and since this time, the Oval area now has no bus lane, as the bus lane was sacrificed for dedicated cycle lanes. Obviously that was TfL and not Mr Barber. Anyway, good luck fixing this one again James.

Still not working properly. We wait here numerous times everyday along with hundreds of other road users, needlessly queuing with our engines running whilst invisible and silent buses go past. I still think it's down to the trigger pad just up the road. Please fix!

[kford]

The pressure pad is definitely working - I've triggered it. It's probably being set off by car wheels straying on to it.

[macutd]

How about taking the pad out of the ground.

Buses still get to the bottom of the road using the bus lane.

If you put a give way line across the car lane, allowing the buses right of way.

problem solved!!

[bobbsy]

Many buses come into the car lane anyway!
