IMPATIENCE IS A VIRTUE

You have to feel some sympathy for council highways staff when it comes to syncronising the two sets of traffic lights on Barnard Avenue, where the A18 connects with Cary Lane and Wesley Road/Old Courts Road.
For however they 'stagger' the lights to allow more vehicles to flow in one direction, it has to slow things down for people in the other.
However, I'm certain the other day, on the way out to Scunthorpe, I queued up on Barnard Avenue, adjoining the police station, with the lights on red while no vehicles at all were waiting to get out of Cary Lane.
That's the sort of thing guaranteed to get up the noses of motorists less familiar with the situation than some of us Brigg residents.
Given the thousands of vehicles which pass along Barnard Avenue every day, there is no easy solution, and probably no solution at all.
