Camberwell Grove traffic light fault - be careful

[peckham_ryu]

Going downhill, the traffic light was stuck on red earlier. As a result, drivers eventually go through it - so be careful whichever direction you are coming.

Reported to TfL online just now, having been directed to them by Southwark Council. Hoping their ?we?ll get back to you within 10 days? stock response doesn?t mean it will take them that long to sort it out!

All traffic lights are managed by TfL.

I reported it to Southwark on Thursday (they confirmed they were the right persons to deal with it) they have an SLA of 5 working days....

I don't see the point in this traffic light in the first place. Didn't need one there for thirty years.

Punishing car drivers - they know cyclists will ignore the light anyway. It's all part of Southwark's war against motorists.

Pedestrian s ignore this traffic light aswell. It truly is pointless

Because the bridge isn't strong enough to carry traffic both ways at once. It's been this way (or closed) for almost half the time you mention.
