Urgent Request to Address Severe Traffic Congestion Due to Traffic Light Timing
Reported via mobile in the Stuck on red category anonymously at 11:12, Sunday 28 September 2025
Sent to TfL less than a minute later. TfL ref: FMS8223656.
I am writing to report a serious and ongoing issue regarding traffic congestion in our area. For over a year now, there has been permanent heavy traffic caused by the traffic lights, where the green light duration is too short to allow vehicles to pass efficiently.
This problem regularly causes queues of up to two miles, creating significant delays and inconvenience for residents. One of the most concerning impacts is that parents are unable to access the school area in time to drop off or pick up their children safely.
We kindly request that the timing of the traffic lights be reviewed and adjusted as soon as possible to ease congestion and improve traffic flow. A small change in signal timing could greatly reduce waiting times, improve road safety, and support families in the community.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to your urgent action and a prompt resolution.
