Junction gets a new signal, drivers report it faces the wrong approach
“The signal is working flawlessly. It is simply advising a road that does not exist yet.”
The story
The equipment arrived. The context did not.
Commuters quoted in the source report say the newly installed signal faces an approach it does not usefully control, leaving the junction to run on the older system: eye contact and nerve.
What actually happened
A new traffic signal was installed at a busy junction.
Commuters flagged that its orientation does not match traffic flow.
No official response is recorded in the source report.
Why it's civic nonsense
Installation was treated as the deliverable; functioning was treated as optional follow-up.
A signal nobody can obey is not neutral — it teaches an entire junction to ignore signals.
What should happen?
Run a one-day flow survey before commissioning any new signal.
Add a post-installation sign-off by the traffic cell, published publicly.
