Traffic lights in North Greenwich

The main change seems to be that previously you could turn right off the northbound offslip and then turn left onto the northbound onslip (should you so wish), whereas now the traffic turning right from the offslip is forced into a segregated lane between the two carriageways which takes it past the onslip without allowing access to it. The only reason I can think of for the change is that they want to stop traffic from avoiding jams on the flyover by coming though the junction... but since you can drive across into Tunnel Avenue and do a comfortable leisurely U-turn back to the junction, only losing a few seconds in the process, the change seems fairly pointless... I saw some dangerous driver confusion while I was there, and the "No Entry" text on the tarmac seems like an admission by the engineers that they have created something baffling and dangerous. Don't you feel sorry for those who live on that little island amid that traffic nightmare? They obviously like living there, why should anyone feel sorry for them? |
