    Hello,
    Does someone know who to contact for the above? On Viewforth/St Peter's Place, I am often caught in the middle of the one-way segment with cars coming in front of me. Now, arguably I am not the fastest cyclist, but I don't think I am that slow either.
    As worse, it can be dangerous (I already had one car coming towards me at speed), at best, car drivers wait for me to pass when they see me, or gesture angrily at me (and to be fair to them it does look like I've been going through the red light). Today, one driver stopped and shouted at me. When I explained that it was green for me, he apologised, but it's really not ideal.
    Thanks

    I tweeted it to @south_west team as well. Let's hope something actually gets done.

    from @southwest team

    "thanks for notifying us. We've contacted the developer and they are arranging for an adjustment to the phasing of the lights."
