The Signs on the Tunnels on Parkes Way...

I think those lights on the Parkes way tunnel were a job lot that were thrown in by the people who sold them the tunnel. All the best tunnels have them.

I think the part time lights near the Isabella roundabout are to stop the traffic on Athllon in the afternoons to avoid a huge backup of traffic on Drakeford.

These signs can be ‘read’ when the light is just at the right angle – can’t remember what they say though – something like ‘CAUTION’, ‘SLOW’ and ‘STOP’ perhaps.

What do you mean “when the light is at the right angle”, The words are clear as day.

As I and my loved ones share the road with you can you please have your eyesight tested

Red I’ve never seen.

Red I have only seen a couple of times – maybe it is for when an Action Bus is running on time?

I don’t think I’ve ever once seen the signs being used! I have often gazed at them through my window as i sit still in traffic during peak hour.

Another random one – the “Part Time Signals” traffic lights on Athllon Drive just before the Isabella Roundabout and on Pialliago Avenue – When they switch on, I imagine they go straight to green, or is it orange? And when they turn off, do they get switched off from red, or green?

Ah, the mysteries of life…

OK next question – why are the lights in the tunnel sometimes orange, sometimes white, sometimes red or some combination thereof?

For as long as I can remember as a kid they were white during the day to try to match daylight brightness, and yellow at night to match the surrounding street lights. Then at some point it got swapped around, which means it’s too dark (yellow) during the day and too bright (white) at night.

Red I’ve never seen.

What IS the red lane for please? I have no idea!

They’re signalling the reptoid overlords.

I saw them on when they were doing a big breath testing op one day.
