Poor timings

Please change the traffic lights to allow traffic flowing North and South to both be fifteen at the same time. It seems strange to me that on other traffic lights you don’t have to wait like on these ones. The majority of traffic going North and South won’t be turning right at the junction so I can’t see why these are setup to only allow one way at a time, this just causes cars to build up and wait pointlessly.

For safety reasons (in particular regarding traffic turning right into London Road which due to there being insufficient roadspace to provide a separate right turn lane) the individual traffic phases must be run separately as at present

I can’t say I agree with the answer to this.
I’ve noticed recently that there are several other junctions in the area with the timings set to allow traffic to flow both ways. Please can this be allowed in this junction.
Many thanks.

Each signal junction should be considered individually and the fact that other junctions can be made to run two-way does not alter the fact that we do not consider this to be a safe option. There are no plans to change the mode of operation
