The ‘Intelligent’ traffic lights system is not workink and in eighteen months, it never has.

http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/10716826.Demand_for_talks_to_solve_Weymouth_s_under_fire_traffic_system/?action=success Demand for talks to solve Weymouth's under-fire traffic system    A public meeting is being "actively considered" by the Council. This will, (if it ever takes place), be followed by a "working group" to consider the problems. The next stage would presumably be a "report" to be discussed by the Council members and amended for further discussion. The wheel goes around and around. Scrap the lights and the spaghetti of painted white lines on the road surfaces. These junctions are both confusing and dangerous. The intersections should be controlled by roundabout's as previously. There is no need for discussions which will only lead to Council prevarication and delay.

Work plan sparks road chaos fears in Weymouth

http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/10561263.Work_plan_sparks_road_chaos_fears_in_Weymouth/    IT IS feared new roadworks in Weymouth will mean traffic chaos as schools close for the summer. Traffic queuing at Boot Hill   We can always rely on the "authorities" sending people to their stores to drag out the cones, temporary traffic lights, wheel barrows, diggers, dumpers, shovels and associated paraphernalia, over the months of June, July and August.   True, there are road works at other times of the year, but it always seems that the summer months, when holiday traffic is at its heaviest, roads are naturally congested, and tempers are at their shortest the "lets dig up that section of road now" brigade comes into its own. It is not only Weymouth that suffers from this phenomenon.
