Traffic lights warning

MOTORISTS are urged to take extra care at the Elk Mill roundabout as the traffic lights are turned off.

Power supply problems are being investigated and warning signs have been posted at each junction.

Councillor Mark Alcock said: “What is crucial is that motorists please take extra caution when using this roundabout – and plan their journeys to anticipate possible traffic delays. This problem is also likely to have a knock-on effect on traffic for motorists using near-by wards and primary routes.

“When traffic lights fail, the road priority reverts back to a normal give-way system, so motorists should give way to traffic approaching from the right.”

The council does not have a definitive date when the problem will be fixed.
