Chiefs will continue monitoring traffic measures at a busy roundabout after temporary traffic lights caused 90-minute delays for rush hour drivers earlier this week.
at Shrewsbury's Emstrey Island on the A5 this morning, with traffic moving freely through the junction.Wednesday morning's rush hourA spokesman for National Highways said that they would be reviewing and adapting the system to keep traffic moving.
He said: “Our contractors remain on site at the junction while we monitor and adapt the system to optimise the signals and this temporary traffic management solution. As part of that work the signals were temporarily switched off earlier today. “We will continue to review and manage the system as we balance the need to keep road users safe and traffic moving as smoothly as possible.”
The need for the temporary traffic lights came after the fixed signals at the roundabout were destroyed in a crash, which also wiped out three control boxes for the lights, and contaminated the ground with oil.
