Wish I could get the key to the boxes near me, I could remove about 50% of the congestion in a night's work I reckon.

lol thats funny.
altho the mixing up the audible signs to confuse blind people is a bit off.
Hmm, not really funny when they cause disruption like that. It is amazing that no-one has been hurt.
I agree though, some of the traffic light filtering is rubbish! Plus I woul like a box that when I approach they all turn green for me and stop everyone else!![]()
I swear some of the traffic lights around where I live are designed so as to cause maximum disruption. Come 5:00pm there is a set of about 3 of them which are timed to perfection to go red just as you get there.
Know what you mean; some of the lights around here, you sit there for about 3-4 minutes, then the lights go green for 15 seconds, tops, then you're back on red. Then the council says "look at all the congestion" - no ****ing ****, Sherlock; you think? Never mind what it does to emissions...
Youd think they would have caught him.. someone must have seen him using a cherry picker, and how did he get one in the first place???
We have a roundabout here with about 6 roads coming off of it. About 15yrs ago they stuck traffic lights ALL THE WAY ROUND.
This year they also decided to stick a bus lane through the middle of it![]()
In a strange way that is funny!
Nice find!

there's some in bristol just as you're driving out over the clifton bridge past ashton court, I swear they've been tampered with. they are so quick they only seem to let about 3 cars through every 5/6mins or something stupid...

The best ones here sit on red for 30secs (yes i timed it) to allow the people to cross the road/ junction to clear!
All because twice a day a school 300m down the road kicks out. Wouldnt be hard to put a computer in there so it only does it during school kickout times now would it?
Southampton has the highest number of traffic lights per square mile apparently (traffic light density = teh win...lol)

I never had any major problems driving round Southampton though (lived there four years, had a car for two), so I guess traffic lights are only a problem if they're badly sited/programmed....
Yeah the idea is southampton is that the traffic is split into groups of 10-12 vehichles or something (the number that can go through in 20seconds or however long the lights are green for), and its all meant to be cleverly worked out to reduce congestion or something...
Twigman
not that it does though...you'll always get traffic jams, its just a case of where and how long

The best way to hack a traffic light, or speed camera, is with an angle grinder imo.
