They put the made double set of lights in to allow for the fact they took the footbridge away...to stop oiks dropping paving flags on peoples cars n killing them...
As to why the lights having shuttering on them...its so they can only be seen by the people who should be obeying..and again if you cant see them i suggest you get your eyes checked...and you prehaps shouldnt be driving!!!!!!!

Had my eyes checked not so long ago (to do with migraines) and was given an excellent report on both long and short vision. But they are a pain in the arse, I just dont see what is wrong with normal green lights, like the rest of the road lol.

Oh btw, I spoke to my cousin a few months back, he said he thinks he knows you, his name is Richard Lee, lives in Wallasey but is based over in Liverpool, cant say for deffinate what station.

They are a speed calming measure mate, they give speeders a polite reminder that they are speeding, and advise them to slowdown, without any underhand goings on (tickets, points etc).

They are only usually placed in strategical locations (accident spots, roadworks, common speeding places etc).

Thats a dig towards the government to be honest mate. A lot of speed camera's are seen as piggy banks.

Do you know the reason for this seemingly random affair Audi?

Cheers!

when your heading towards bromborough, the set of lights in front turn green first then 10 seconds later the set behind turn green. i've seen countless times when idiots who aren't paying attention go when the set of lights in front turns green! so imo its a good idea that the shutter things are on!
