It looks to me like physical constraints dictate that lane 5 is
rather short and traffic waiting there would tail back preventing
other traffic from reaching lanes 1-4.

Actually, the turning right lanes here are significantly longer than those
at all other Great Cambridge Road traffic lights in London, except
Bullsmoor Lane.

It looks to me like no more than 6-7 cars could wait to turn right off the
A10 Northbound, which is a lot less than any of the other junctions I can
see scrolling up and down the road on Google Earth. I don't know the road at
all, but it's almost certainly a case of 'short, relative to the quantity of
traffic making the right turn'.

There is a junction on the A270 in Hove (near where I live) which is
even more constrained in that right turning traffic has to slew
across in front of the waiting 'ahead' traffic before making the
right turn.

That's horrendous.
It is, but it sort of works. Fortunately the traffic speeds are relatively
slow (30 mph limit, and it's one of a series of closely spaced junctions on
the main road) so if it goes wrong it's just expensive rather than fatal.
The alternatives would involve a lot of demolition or banning right turns
altogether.

You will be waiting a long time for him to name several within 12
miles; he is prone to exaggeration.

Maybe not within 12 but certainly within 20...

Bridlington. A614 junction with Bessingby Road. (technically not a X
roads but a T junction that works in the same order)

Beverley. Norwood Junction with New Walkergate.

Hull. Beverley Road junction with Cottingham Road.

Hull. Beverley Road Junction with Greenwood Avenue.

In fact, many of them in Hull work that way.


I bet that gave you something to do on your little run out -
shouldn't you have been concentrating on the road rather than on
traffic light sequences.

(PS : I can see why you're always getting lost, if you think that Hull
is within 12 miles of the A10 crossroads and Carterhatch Lane)

Err, no because I'm a competent driver so being aware of everything
going on is important but thanks for confirming how **** you are.

I don't but it demonstrates how much of a retard you are as you seem to
be the only person here who was unable to work out that I meant in
relation to where I live.

You must think other people are as gullible yourself.

Of course you did not drive that way and looked out for them - it's
just coincidence that they just all happened to be on the same route.
Odd, given all the miles you do that you didn't just recall any
anywhere else.

The term - lying **** springs to mind.

Because it is a road I've commuted down over the years many many
hundreds of times and when I visit the centre of Hull, is the main road
from Driffield.

I can give you the locations of most of the speed cameras on the A1
between Blyth and Peterborough OTTOMH. I've only been down that stretch
of the A1 once in the last 6 months, a week last Wednesday, BUT I used
to do it 5 nights a week for 2 years.

The term - lying **** springs to mind.

Whatever.

As I do over 2000 miles most weeks, I'd say I've seen a lot more than
you're likely to.

Come on now Conor - answer the question - or are you admitting you've
lost the plot.

I can see why the bloke called Doug ****es all over you.

Doug's condition has deteriorated that much, has it?
