Temporary traffic lights not working

Reported via desktop in the General Fault category anonymously at 10:24, Tuesday 4 November 2025

Sent to TfL less than a minute later. TfL ref: FMS8374066.

Temporary traffic lights are not working, and nor are the main ones meaning traffic is not stopping and pedestrians are risking their lifes to cross a busy road. Almost watch a man get hit by a fast moped, missed by a whisker! Generally this has been a terrible temp fix, either they are faulting regularly or the positioning isn't right - constant horn noise from frustrated drivers since these were erected.

  • These are still not fixed some 8 hours later. There is not traffic control for the entire intersection and bus stop. Pedestrians cannot cross, and some are taking unnecessary risks, as mentioned in my original post. Extremely unsafe.
