Timing of lights causing huge queues
Sent to TfL less than a minute later. TfL ref: FMS4620239.
The timing of southbound light at the southern end of Putney Bridge was changed in the last few days so that when the northbound light changes there is a 13 second delay before southbound turns green. This was never true before, although the same problem was reported by me and changed by yourselves last September. In the rush hour miles of jams are a result along new King’s Road, Fulham High St, Fulham Rd and surrounding areas. Delays to buses, pollution and ambulance delays as a result. There seems no reason for this, there is a bus lane southbound so its not helping those buses but causing up to 20 minute delays for any bus approaching Putney or Putney Bridge bus station. This is a quiet half term week, next week will get worse and total grid lock will occur when Wandsworth Bridge is close in July, this needs addressing soon

The delay on the lights is actually 26 seconds. The jams and the resulting pollution means that all the efforts of the LTNs in Fulham are somewhat pointless. Simply changing the lights back to the sequence they have been in, such that traffic moves south at the same time it moves north, for 25 years will clear the jams. Bus delays are awful and your data must show that.
