MAJOR SNIP !!!

We also seem to have gone backwards on area control of a set of lights.
Do these schemes still exist in London? I keep being stopped,
particularly at light-controlled pedestrian crossings, in a way that sug
gests that each set of lights functions independently.

Have you noticed how many sets of light-controlled pedestrian crossings seem
to be able to activate without any pedestrian being anywhere near ? I
suspect its just another of these expensive but useless "traffic calming"
systems installed by stealth by those "who know best"
