Problems with Traffic lights in the Newbury area seems to be an ongoing issue.
I thought I had read that with the instalation of the new lights at the Robinhood things would improve - have they? have they heck as like!!!!
If I remember correctly it was publicised that if I approached either the Robinhood from the North or the Police stn roundabout from the south and hit either sets on green, as long as I proceeded at the speed limit, then I would meet the next set on green as well - they were supposed to be "link - phased"
Are they? in my opinion they traffic jams in this part of town are worse since the lights were installed.... and even since Market street reverting to two traffic it really hasn't got any better.
Don't agree with RHR being worse, have found it much better since the revamp.
Even during rush hour traffic it is busy but continues to move along. Problems seem to arise when the Sainsbury's roundabout traffic backs up to the RH as you the inevitably get a few idiots blocking the junctions which then has a knock on effect
