Earlier today Colin reported that the traffic lights at Claymore Gardens and the morning, night and doom corner on the A96 were behaving a bit strangely. It seems so to this observer too, the Green man is coming on without anyone pressing the button. Nairn's green men no longer by demand only?
Could not all the new traffic lights be switched off to save money?
ReplyDeletemy hubby sometimes does that
ReplyDeleteStill knackered today and tailbacks at 9:15 back to Sainsburys.
ReplyDeletesent an e-mail to BEAR yesterday
ReplyDeleteWhen the pedestrian crossing on the A82 at Drumnadrochit first appeared, what, fifteen years ago, local teenagers thought it was a hoot to stick the pedestrian crossing button in with a large dollop of chewing gum.
ReplyDeleteThe lights would obligingly change to red, to allow those phantom pedestrians to cross every couple of minutes or so.
An engineer used to appear from Inverness, to hygenically remove the chewing gum.
I think the kids became bored with it after a while.
and also the traffic lights at the top of harbour street, the timing is still wrong, now between lights going from red back to green only gives you roughly 10 seconds , which is no where near long enough especially for older residents trying to cross from harbour street to cross the road !
ReplyDeleteProbaly meets the regulations Doc but aye, still wrong. Power to the pedestrians - build the bypass please.
