Why do we need the traffic lights?
Well, there's a water leak.
That water is 5cm deep at most.
Maybe Anglian Water is worried that if people drive over the puddle they'll damage the leaky pipes more or something, but do we really need three-way traffic lights for that? With four road signs on each of the entrances warning us about the lights' presence? A single traffic cone would suffice.
Meanwhile, we have washbasin-sized potholes that have nothing other than themselves and skid marks to indicate they exist.
I'm really growing into this getting-old-and-cantankerous role.
