But as you can see, not much happening (which is usually the norm here in Oz!). On the way to visiting my parents, sat there for probably 5 minutes until the light changed green....no other cars around & as I said previously, not much happening with the actual road works, so not sure why I had the red light for so long.
Oh that takes me back! I once was stuck on a contraflow like this on the road from Alice Springs to Uluru and we were there a full five minutes before it changed and yet no-one was working and nothing came down the road the other way in the meantime! So blissfully Australian, I love this!
With no workmen there or cones lining the verge or holes in the road, the traffic lights looks so out of place. Must be maddening waiting for the light to turn green 😱😱
There was probably an 'off' switch somewhere on that box leggzy. We have similar temporary lights over here too. I've ignored a few red ones if there's no danger. There's a challenge for you leggzy - drive through it on red next time.
