    Barnsley is the traffic light capital of Britain.

    When did they do that ? Was at oakwell last week and they weren't up then ?

    They've been up a while

    But they're only part time signals.

    When the signals aren't on it takes me less than 5 minutes to get in to town from our house at any time of day. 35 minutes today with them on. Almost an hour last week when traffic was backed up from those lights all the way down Sheffield Road to where the cutting edge used to be.

    ******* nob 'eads.

    Probably the same highly paid "traffic management consultant" who did the same at Stairfoot.It defeats the object of a roundabout -free flowing traffic-to snarl it up again with lights
