Traffic light facing the wrong way

Reported via iOS in the Damage - pole leaning / equipment detached from pole/facing the wrong direction category anonymously at 17:00, Thu 25 April 2024

Sent to TfL less than a minute later. TfL ref: FMS5899387.

The traffic light at the junction of Balls Pond Rd and A104 is misaligned, causing confusion and potentially dangerous situations.

Currently, it's directing traffic heading north on Balls Pond Rd instead of west on A104, as it should. Attached are images illustrating the issue, with the first showing today's view and the second depicting the correct alignment from Google Street View.

Urgent attention is needed to rectify this and prevent accidents. Thanks

This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
