Ok having read a lot of comments you ALL seem to be missing the point. The traffic light is temporary however the traffic at the junction is ALL coming headon from BOTH sides.....In the UK on a two-lane road it is customary (if it's not a one-way street) to have one lane to go in either direction! If this red light turns green the biker (and as most of you failed to notice the 20 or more cars behind him) don't have a lane to drive on!
Rubbish, when the lights from the other 2 directions turn red, the traffic will stop coming through and the bike and cars behind him will have their turn. The only reason there are a few at the end coming from the right and left is because a few of the right ones went through on red. At the end, the right ones had completely stopped.
@@firstman9273 fair they do. But at the end of that road there's an island so nothing should even be coming down the left side. Can't quite tell if that's a roundabout but they are in the left hand lane.
@@lucywikeley2489 Yes it is a roundabout with construction in progress, hence the anticlockwise diversion and temporary traffic lights. And after watching again, some of the traffic are missing this exit and they turn right after the divider island hence they are on both sides of the road, it must be easy to miss the exit due to going anticlockwise, the biker is over reacting. This is A77 next to Girvan community hospital.
Top of my road like this at the moment. Light controlled t-junction with works on the main road. A pedestrian island divides the lanes on the minor road, but as soon as you add three way controlled lights, everyone goes mad. Wrong side of the island is fine despite no obstruction on the correct side.
So when the lights go wrong (as they do sometimes) and stay on red all day would the majority sit there all day ? because I wouldn't, I would wait for the opportunity to ride through safely, most road users are like lemmings and they have to wait to follow someone else, correct me if Im wrong but I believe that temporary traffic lights are not seen as ' legal ' as the formal lights put in place by the authorities, ??? Generally speaking.
The single problem with your analogy, is, as in this instance, there is no way of seeing what the further, (assuming there is one), traffic light is doing. I, like you, doubt there is one, but sod's law says the moment you decide to go, plod will decide to take a ride in his little noddy car. As far as the legality goes. Although you may successfully argue your case in court, should you "bump" into an oncoming lorry, it is doubtful your insurance company would look favourably on you. (Speaking from experience).
TSRGD 2002 Reg 10(1)(g) correctly installed portable traffic lights are to be obeyed just the same as you would obey correctly installed fixed traffic lights.
Haha this clip made me laugh. Would you mind if i used this clip on my channel fully credited and linked to you of course. If not no worries and have a great weekend.
They have two lanes of traffic going onto a single lane road from both sides of a roundabout at the same time, multiple cars almost hit each other it's nothing to do with the red light pal
Maybe just too bloody lazy to move the traffic lights to the side of the road, over the weekend 🤭. It’s a bit like all the abandoned temporary road signs, which they are also too lazy to collect after the work has finished. The only good bit is that they eventually get covered by the rubbish and weeds. Oh the joys of living in a 3rd world country…..
for some reason the lights where set up so that cars could come from both sides of the round about , 1 road coming from a 60 mph road , at the same time i watched multiple car almost hit eachother as for some reason they was allowed to enter a single exit at the same time , so hence who thought this up ?
I've genuinely seen this myself before. A traffic light is necessary because there's a traffic light in the road. It's pathetic. The workers are brainless. Or.....it's a psyop to mess with us all & ruin driving. Even more annoying when you're on a bike as you can easily squeeze through. EDIT: OK, the traffic is coming from both sides if the island at the exit of what I assume is a roundabout. Still effed up, and still brainless 😂
It's not that at all (apart from the fact if he did the cars behind would overtake him -one did it to me at temp lights and I was where he IS) but look at the top of the road cars coming from BOTH sides of the junction/roundabout!
@@lucywikeley2489 Rubbish, you’ve obviously no idea of how big a bike that is, it’s sat at a red light and there are cars coming from the other way. I can see how the temporary lights are working,. He’s in a dangerous place, end of. Have you ever ridden a motorbike?
@@br5380 yes have you? In fact you don't read that well ..I actually told you what happened to me at a similar set of lights andI was parked in the same place! He's on the right side of the white line. The video is not about that at all. A metre to his left would put him way off the centre of his lane and enable 'entitled' drivers behind him to overtake when the light changes. Have YOU ever ridden a bike and more importantly have YOU passed your test? Cos on your test you are told to hold your own space not hug the kerbside! By the way as it's a sports bike it's not suddenly going to be massively wider at the back. So yeah I do know how big that bike is!
@@lucywikeley2489 passed my test on an RD250E in 1982, had loads of bikes and done vast mileages - including +10 years commuting 90 miles a day on 900cc bikes in/around London. Believe me, he’s putting himself in danger and as the saying goes, “no point being dead right”.
i was fine with waiting my turn, i was worried that other people may get hurt because the lights where set up in a bad way again take your bad somewhere else pal, hope it gets better for you .
@@fkingride.5500 Nothing to judge broski you have constructions and a red light you sit and wait for the green like anyone and be patient till you get the green. Very simple. Also if yout post the video without context or explanation people are gonna assume youre just mad you have to wait your turn. Worrying for other ppl makes no sense either its a merging like any other.
I am watching this from a 3th world country. This rich kid on a rich motorbike complaining for the lack of order in the flow of veicles. Dude most of the world lives without shoes in the mud and garbage. I am so sorry for your problems, like wich car has to come first.
You have no idea what it's like to live in mud with no shoes, food , or warm bed to sleep in at night , don't assume your talking to a kid , you have no idea how I got where I am , you have no idea what hell looks like , and most of the world is actually westernized these days yes millions live in squaller in every country including this one, it's a simple observation of poorly set out road lights and markers take your bad day somewhere else
Caution, cones working ahead! 😅
council "workers" ? 🤔
Just like in video games, the path is blocked by a single log or something and the character can't go forward on that path lmao

Log was probably just a seedling when the lights were last on green.
"Lane closure ahead. Lane obstructed by traffic light."
Its obvious isn't it? The reason for the traffic lights is the cones left in the road. 😊(don't forget this is the UK).

at least a motorbike could weave through oncoming traffic !

Seen this once @ Yosemite National Park. Had the same reaction as u 😂
This seems to England or Ireland, the traffic is on the left side of the road, but yeah those lights can be really annoying!
Try moving closer, the light has a sensor on the top that will detect cars. It thinks no one is there because your positioned to far away.

Heyyy brother! Is it okay to use it please ? Credited of course, thanks in advance.
there is a layby on the way to Hoo in Kent with double yellow lines both sides work that one out
I've read a lot of the comments but I still don't grasp WTF the vid is about lol.
Perhaps there's only one light or something FIIK?

The lack of observation skills by the commentors to this vid is really quite scary, as is that probably most of them move a vehicle on the roads. 😮
Well said! And yes I think most of them drive considering how many I've encountered recently!
I think that this is not a common situation in the US.
It's called brown envelope road repair.
It because there works happening further up that can't be seen. Calm down.
I've genuinely seen this myself before. A traffic light is necessary because there's a traffic light in the road. It's pathetic.
The workers are brainless.

You're stopped in a dangerous place, focus more on YOUR safety.
A yard/metre to the left at least.

@@br5380 true but I still think the point remains that a METRE to the left is a bit extreme.
It is really very simple. Just wait you turn and then go in peace. Don't be a child crying because you have to wait your turn.
Said everything i wanted to say
