Bridge Street work back to square one

Joy of joys the three-way set of lights in Stourport switched over to a two-way and the York Street pedestrian lights re-activated; traffic was much clearer with only one length of time to wait and everybody was happy; well maybe.

See for some reason they've now switched it back to a three-way system, but this time haven't turned off the York Street pedestrian lights. So we have two sets of traffic lights sitting next to each other potentially giving conflicting information and everyone sitting around for two turns.

They're not doing any work on that corner, in fact the work has moved further down Bridge Street; there are some vehicles parked before the actual works themselves, but not works vehicles.

The only reason I can suggest for the switch is that traffic from New Street had right-of-way over York Street (when the Bridge Street traffic is stopped) and that was causing a hold-up, but who knows? The important thing is that Laser Civil Engineering or LUX shouldn't have replaced the lights without disabling the York Street pedestrian crossing and to be blunt I'm fed-up of these sort of actions taking place.

A quick call to the Worcestershire Hub, an explanation of the problem and a short hold while the guy checked with Road Closures that this hadn't been reported already and I'm told that "They didn't know about this problem, but they've got reports of other problems on site so they'll all be dealt with at the same time; should be only a couple of hours" Yep that's right other problems, so these companies are either ignorant, in that they don't know they're doing wrong; or lazy, in that they know it's wrong but the right method is just too much hard-work; either way would you want these people working for you?
