‘Absolute carnage’

This is the second time in a matter of days that the Lyons Farm traffic lights failed.

A similar incident was reported on Tuesday evening (July 19), and the lights were reportedly still out of action on Wednesday.

“It’s absolute carnage still, the traffic lights have been out all day,” wrote Lisa Rheault after a two-vehicle collision was reported in the area.

“Traffic queueing in every direction all day at Lyons farm.”

Oscar Stewart wrote: “Lights weren't working this [Wednesday] morning at about 7:45 – a junction like that is really dangerous without traffic signals.

“And when they do work, half the time they're out of sync and cause congestion.”
