I look forward with great anticipation to the installation of our promised ‘intelligent’ traffic lights in Weymouth.
However, could I please ask that one extra set are ordered right away and are installed at the Littlemoor Road/Dorchester Road junction?
The reason is that the present lights have a very low IQ indeed.
The other morning I was walking by them and saw them showing green arrows for a clear exit from Littlemoor road for about half a minute.
The unfortunate thing was that there were no cars at all in sight wanting to exit Littlemoor Road and there were long queues as always in both directions in the Dorchester Road.
What a waste of time. Then the other evening at 11.30pm I drove through them from the Dorchester direction towards Weymouth.
There were no other cars in sight but I was stopped for a good minute by the red light and could see the lights showing green for traffic to exit Littlemoor Road.But there were no cars at all!
Another waste of time.
So please let’s have a set of ‘intelligent’ lights for this junction as soon as possible as the IQ of the present set is virtually nil.
