"If the new disastrous complicated set of 4 traffic lights in 100 yards recently installed near the west pier is anything to go by this council is determined to cause gridlock so I would not trust them with any traffic scheme. we are all pedestrians so this is not selfish car drivers speaking. stylecop it is simple cars get priority because there are more of them and cause more congestion if held up for long times. no pedestrian has to wait for more than 30 seconds I would imagine, and can cross the road when the lights are against them anyway there is no traffic unlike cars, if they have an amount of common sense. leave the roundabout alone just make it more attractive with planting, lighting new paving and less clutter."
