Air Quality SPD

Representation ID: 71228

Received: 17/10/2018

Respondent: CLLR Peter Phillips

Representation Summary:

One further point I would like to raise that would both save money and improve air quality relates to traffic lights in the evenings and overnight.

It is ridiculous for vehicles to have to stop at traffic lights in the middle of the night with no other traffic in sight. E.g. waiting at Longbridge Junction 15 with no traffic on any other part of the roundabout at 4:00 am. Instead I would like consideration be given to making many of the light sets into "part-time signals" as seen at various junctions across the country.
