The frustration with Nairn's traffic lights has boiled over into the social media with a facebook group calling for their total removal being formed. You can see what Nairn folk have to say about their forest of traffic lights here on "Remove Nairn Traffic Lights."

ReplyDeletemove them to clephanton x roads to stop the rat runs and excessive speeding through the village...
ReplyDeleteEh. How will kids and elderly get across the A96. Never mind them what about me? There s more to life than cars.
ReplyDeleteAye, some drivers are complaining it is taking them so long to get from a to b, when a to b is quite a short distance. Why don't they leave their cars at home and walk? No queues on the pavements.
ReplyDeleteBan cars, problem solved
ReplyDeleteThe activists should have woken up and smelt the coffee when concerns about the traffic lights were raised at the public planning meeting that discussed the Sainsbury's application back in 2008 but, no doubt,most of them were amongst those getting knicker wettingly excited at the prospect of the arrival of the big orange supermarket.
ReplyDeleteLesson to be learnt...be very careful what you wish for.
Anyway, on a positive note, since the recent works were carried out on the Lochloy Road /A96 junction , there has been a marked reduction in the backlog of traffic at busy times.
Good news indeed..... Why those charged with properly managing the road network have taken 4 or 5 years to do it does make one wonder but any improvement is welcome.
Watch out for the traffic light pixies though , as they have a habit of tinkering unecessarily
