I MUST write concerning the new traffic lights at junction three of the M27.
I use this junction a lot as I live in Lordshill. I have witnessed five or six very near misses as drivers realise the traffic is stopping and pull back out onto the motorway in front of those using the inside lane of the motorway.
I have lived in Lordshill for 19 years and have never had problems using junction three until recently as the filter lane kept the traffic flowing. Now there are constant tailbacks and it's only a matter of time before there is a fatality because someone can't wait and pulls back onto the motorway to get into the outside exit lane for the M271.
The Highways Agency has made a big mistake here, which is causing traffic chaos and pollution.
