The road is wide enough for two lanes of traffic, but it has been
deliberately narrowed by barriers to one lane, and rather than give one
direction priority (as they usually do when they deliberately narrow the
road to one lane) they have installed traffic lights to alternate the flow.
If Boris wants to retime lights to reduce congestion, he could retime this
installation to the scrapyard.

Check if they've installed any CCTV or traffic light cameras nearby.
If not then just ignore the lights next time if you have a clear road
ahead. I do it all the time with roadworks traffic lights if the
traffic is light.
