Description
During heavy commute times ~8am weekdays the timing of this light sequence makes it impossible to turn left from northbound Chamberlain to Westbound Laburnum. Traffic is maxed on Laburnum and the light at Brook road has not yet activated to start the cars moving again. This is a safety hazard as many cars do not yield the space and just park themselves in the middle of the intersections for the additional 15 secs or so it takes for Laburnum to move again. This creates gridlock.
