Those lights are rubbish. They keep you on a red signal whilst the cars have green and you end up waiting for more than a minute.
I don't bother waiting at them unless it's green for peds.
I'll just start using the road again if it gets worse.
nankatsu-
Is that because the cars have green for a left turn that cuts across both cycle lanes? I've nearly been hit twice there by taxis who decided "F this I'm turning left to go down to embankment" without realising that it was a red light for them on that left turn, even though it as green for straight on.
I understand that that whole cycle lane is likely to increase the number of cyclists, but personally I preferred it before. I think I'll start using southwark or waterloo bridge.
t.o.
I estimated >200 commuters at the traffic lights at north end of blackfriars bridge this am. Didn't make first traffic lights cycle, nearly didn't make second. toomanycommuters/10.
