Traffic lights delay motorists

Sir,- I totally disagree with your correspondent Edward Burns. Traffic lights a Broxden roundabout would not improve the congestion.

Also, the control of the traffic flow at Inveralmond has not been a success as there are many long tailbacks there.

The lights go green but the next set round are at red, so the traffic tails back, blocking the roundabout.

I am a regular user of both these roundabouts daily from approximately 8am through to 5pm and so have experience of both.

Incidentally, I find that when the traffic lights are not functioning at Inveralmond there is a lot less queuing and traffic flows more smoothly.

It would be a disservice to road users to introduce traffic lights at Broxden. Roy Moffat. Bollyglosh, Gilmerton. consider some light and heavy weaponry stationed outside my bedroom window from 5am. There will be an abundance of moving, squawking targets, as the gulls circle and stomp on my roof.
