Email received from Surrey Count council re the traffic lights at the junction of Clews Lane and Queens Road. Please excuse the generic reply to your enquiry. We have received a number of similar reports so I felt that this was the most efficient way to respond as we no longer have a dedicated member of staff covering this email Inbox. I apologise for the late reply. Thank you for your enquiry regarding the traffic signals on the A322. When the carriageway was resurfaced it destroyed many of the vehicle detectors. These are coils of wire slot-cut into the carriageway surface on the approaches to the traffic signals which detect vehicles and register demands for vehicles approaching the junction. However, when these detectors are damaged they default to a permanent demand, resulting in the signals behaving as if there were a constant queue of traffic on the affected approach, regardless of actual traffic flows. This means that the signals can take longer to change. We are programming the detector repairs with our signal contractors along with a large batch of similar repairs. These cannot be a quick fix, but should be repaired within the next couple of weeks. Once they have been completed you should notice the signals restore to normal operation. In the meantime please accept my apologies for the inconvenience caused. Yours sincerely, Tracy Stickler Traffic Systems Engineer
