New article on the BBC web site about possible use of flashing amber during quiet times. This would be a start but I think traffic lights on roundabouts should be switched off outside peak hours - even during the peak they seem to cause more trouble than they're worth.
I'm very disappointed with Andrew Howard's response as the head of safety at the AA. Maybe the clue is in his job title but safety at all costs is nonsense. Life is not safe and traffic lights do not noticeably improve safety for all the hassle they cause. Of course we could simply ban all cars but then people would probably trip over and hit their head on the floor instead!
