More globe changes in the Acton Tunnel

There was a tweet from 666ABC earlier this afternoon that reads “RoadsACT imported orange lights from Belgium for Acton tunnel after the community begged them to retain the orange glow!”

That is BS. Whilst I don’t know where the globes came from, simple fact is RoadsACT were always going to retain the orange lights, so it’s not like the community begged them to do so. The reason they have been out of action is because they had to replace the controller.

That’s the tunnel which has the warning signs at each end (visible in the pic) which have never been turned on.

I’ve seen them on many times. I am going back many many years though.many years.

Does anyone know the last time they were used? Or if they even still work? I don’t recall ever seeing them being used..

Are the orange lights still in there? Maybe they’re secretly going to put them back in?

These lights are meant to be on sensors so different times of the day will have different brightness and colour.

Wont be long before this tunning is much much much longer.

What time was “early openers” today?

I recall some sort of light fitting in the tunnel falling off and hitting a bus after the last lot were changed? If that occurred again I would be alarmed!

I don’t get it. What’s alarming about them replacing the sodium globes?

I get why they are changing the globes, but like you don’t get JB’s line about it being alarming. Makes no sense what so ever. I reckon he must have once written for the Terrorgraph.

That scares me…

So if no work will occur on weekdays, will the roadworks speed limit signs be removed on weekdays?

What difference would it make? Apparently, roadworks speed limits are optional anyway.
