These new traffic lights at the P&R are badly designed and old folks it seems are struggling to understand the 2 lights system.
At the A59 4 way traffic lights just outside York, at the junction with Poppleton and Wyevale Garden Centre.
This driver decided to ignore the red light and all the other cars waiting at it because the second set of lights had a green arrow showing. His tactic was to use the filter lane to the left of the queue, which is the entry to the Park & Ride and the Wyevale Garden Centre. So as I came out of the Poppleton turning to his right he cut across the front of me, causing me to break sharply, I don`t think he even realised or saw me at all. I was travelling very steadily because I didn`t know how long my right turn filter arrow was going to stay on but if I had been rushing to get through it, I think we would have collided.
What annoys me the most is that he is so unaware of the road space he doesn`t even know he made a bad error and went through a red light! Silly old fool.
Sorry but photo (not very good) is few minutes later as he blissfully continues his journey towards Harrogate.
Overtook me in a 30 when I was doing 33 to then cut in front of me, school morning so lots of traffic, he advanced one place and nearly caught the front of my car, not that I was particularly bothered as seen as he'd been right up my backside for at least 5 minutes, what is it with some people?
