I was a bit late this morning so must've also misssed it by minutes, if not seconds. I also have been very wary at those crossings lately and have held back and looked a few vehicles in front for what colour the lights are and who's waiting to cross. It's a box junction but that means a pretty pattern to some people and nothing else!
