Boris Johnson

[Gary Waldron]

Did anyone read that Boris Johnson got fed up recently by having to wait at red lights on a sunday? Is the a conversion? Can we use this in anyway. Have you spoken to him Martin?

Not sure I've seen the story you mention, but it's well known that BJ plans to re-phase lights. Haven't spoken to him since he became Mayor, but his head of transport rang me. He knew my work, but said that removing lights was too radical for them. I said re-phasing could bring mild improvements, but to make a real difference, real reform was needed. Then, in association with Keith Firth, traffic engineer, I produced a proposal for a JET (Junction Efficiency Trial), currently being considered by London and a number of other councils.
