CycleAlex: Curiously, low level cycle signals have been installed at the newly signalised A702 junction. Does anyone know if they’re acting as early releases or purely repeaters?
Neddie: They're clearly dummy. I'm sure the real purpose of the repeaters is to be able to dip into active travel funds for essentially a motors-only junction
I can confirm that they are advanced greens for cyclists and are now in operation. In my opinion, the period between green for cyclists and green for motors needs to be a few seconds longer*.
It may be moot because at the weekend I noticed drivists were hogging the ASL box as usual.
* Thirty or forty years, perhaps?
