Traffic Light talks for M25.

The Daily Telegraph recently reported on talks between the Highway Agency that looks after the M25 and the counties the M25 passes through regarding the implementation of traffic lights on slip roads. The idea is to help keep traffic moving on what is one of Britain's busiest motorways. The M25 almost completely encircles Greater London and congestion can be fierce causing delays and difficult driving conditions. Many road engineers from the counties bordering the M25 fear that the proposed traffic lights, which could stay red for up to one minute, will leak the gridlock onto their country roads whenever motorway congestion builds heavily. That's why the counties affected are refusing to accept this new traffic light policy without reassurance that their roads won't suffer as a result. Watch this space to see what happens.
