It took me more than a quarter-of-an-hour to get across Brigg from Springfield Road to Lidl's car park early this afternoon.
The reason, of course, traffic yet again backed up right down Barnard Avenue and well down Bigby Road on a busy market day.
Many motorists look accusingly at the traffic lights and the way they operate. It seems that there's no adjustment to take account of an increased flow of cars. Today, the hot weather made things worse. No-one wants to be queued in traffic in such conditions.
I felt a bit like Victor Meldrew in one of the very best episodes of One Foot in the Grave.
Thankfully...Mrs Warboys wasn't chattering away on the back seat.
Sadly...no Dolly Birds drew up alongside in an open-topped sports car!

It's May..and it's history repeating itself, Scribs..- Spring's Jams !!!
When Tesco was planning their new-built....they were issuing reassurances that they had a method that ameliorated traffic jams and that treaffic would 'cascade' smoothly from and thro' each pinch-point of the traffic- lights.
I don't know what this secret method was..although it did sound that it involved computerised traffic lights that analysed the volume of traffic flows and reponded to need, rather than some rigid chronological sequence...but, whatever it was can we pinch it???
Better still - take the traffic lights away and let the human brain do the thinking.
