Defeating the purpose
Apr 30,2014 - Last updated at Apr 30,2014
The 7th Circle traffic lights are a good idea spoilt by bad signage: U-turns before the traffic lights should always be allowed in all four directions.
Instead, cars have to stop and wait for the lights to change, thus completely negating the intended effect of speeding up traffic.
Proper signs should be placed at all four corners showing that U-turns (and turns to the right) are allowed at all times.
