Traffic lights timing fault, 21st April

Sun, 21 Apr 2024 08:04:22 +0100
54.653705 -2.760483

Traffic lights on roundabout J40 Penrith, the lights immediately before the turn in to Penrith which controls traffic on the roundabout merging with traffic leaving the M6 Southbound (NY [phone removed]). Frequently in the mornings at 05:50-06:00 the lights remain on red for several minutes, the next lights around cycle several times. On every occasion vehicles inevitably drive through the red light after waiting for a long time, this could lead to an accident with faster moving traffic merging from the motorway. The lights do change but it takes a long time and by this point numerous cars have beeped horns and driven round you to go through the red light.

Traffic lights out of sync, 21st March

Thu, 21 Mar 2024 16:35:58 +0000
54.655366 -2.742453

The traffic lights on this roundabout are out of sync, leaving vehicles in the middle of the roundabout and oncoming traffic unable to move when on green. Making cars very vulnerable as left in the middle of the roundabout, blocking lanes and with a lorry coming a speed and can not get through. Can take in excess of 40 mins to get from junction 40 of the M6 to Kemplay roundabout which is only half a mile! Needs sorting before Easter otherwise it will be gridlock and have knock on affect to M6 and A66 east!!
