Traffic fun

So as I've just mentioned one of the provisos of the Tesco plan is money towards pedestrian crossings, just to demonstrate the joy of traffic lights in our town we have some minor works going on in Worcester Road. Traffic lights at the red dot, end of the queues (that I witnessed) at the blue. (from Google maps)

That's one small set over an area just over an arms span in width, now imagine having another two or three permanent sets in town. Admittedly not constantly activated, but if they're set with the same timings as the one in Bridge Street they might as well be.
