Best place see that is the turning to Crooked Bridge rd from Corporation St. Or, into Prospect rd. Many a numpty has stopped at the red light after taking the turning.
And into Riverway off the Weston Road - I see someone stop there after making the left turn at least once a week
Really? People should hand in their licence if they can't even understand basic left turns!!!
They may be confused by the sign that says "No Access To A34 Lichfield Road", although it only refers to the weight restriction - I've found a bloke trying the turn round there with a caravan because of that...Yup - they turn the corner coming off the Weston Road, see the red light for traffic opposite coming out of Corporation Street and slam on the anchors
I never have understood how you can misinterpret that one, as the light itself is pretty close to the junction and you can hardly see it as you turn the corner...

The only time you should maybe MAYBE go through a red light when it's really not busy, there's so many stupid traffic lights when there's no traffic at all, as long as it doesn't cause danger to anyone.
People are so inpatient nowadays though, it's incredible.
I'm pretty sure the only time it's allowable to go through a red light is to clear a junction to let an emergency services vehicle on blue lights through, ........................no?
No.

People have been done for going through a red light to allow an emergency vehicle to proceed - mad, but true.I'm pretty sure the only time it's allowable to go through a red light is to clear a junction to let an emergency services vehicle on blue lights through, ........................no?
Dancing with death?Yet they were happy to run a red 2 minuets latter ?
Stafford's Traffic flow is a major problem here, or the Lack of it! Because there's no flow drivers can sit and watch the lights change many times, so it's no wonder they block junctions. Blinkers need placing on lights that cause confusion, corp st etc.
Red lights for left turns? Why? No filter lights for Right turns? why? And of course there's far to many Traffic Lights.
With some 5000 houses being build in Stafford over the next few years, resulting in about 10000 cars on the roads, things are not going to get any better, with or without the new Doxey access road (Sorry, Western Access Route)
Far toooooo many lights. A pedestrian crossing was added to the Queensville roundabout to filter traffic into town from Silkmore Lane and Lichfield rd at an estimated cost of £80.000. Hasn't had any effect as the roundabout is blocked due to build-up heading into town. An extra set of lights have been added on Chell Rd prob another £80k. A walk way would be better, and as for the Tesco Junction!Are you saying that they do not model traffic flow in Stafford, they merely add a traffic light and there is no synchronisation. Or dare I say no thought as to location of lights. I think the evidence is there. Modelling and synchronisation costs money.
