Traffic light outside school never turning green for pedestrians when button pressed
Reported via mobile in the Traffic lights & crossings problems with timings category anonymously at 13:19, Tue 7 September 2021
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 2985312.
My son started at secondary yesterday and complained that the traffic light didn’t turn green for them even though they had pressed the button and waited for 4 minutes. We watched it later in the day and tested it: the part of the crossing directly outside John Hampden Grammar School to the central reservation does not respond to the pedestrian button from either side: the traffic flow just alternates between Marlow Hill and the turning from Waitrose/Leisure Centre towards the town centre. This of course leads to pupils crossing without the traffic having been stopped which could be very dangerous. Please address this ASAP before any accident happens. I will also inform the school.
