Residents having problems with new sets of traffic lights are nothing new.

The Bolton News: Bury Road, Bolton, 1965 This photo, taken in 1965, shows the queues that were commonplace on Bury Road at the junction with Crompton Way in Bolton following the installation of new lights.

Motorists tried to avoid the junction in a morning by taking a short-cut along Bury Road North which led to mums complaining to the Bolton Evening News about the danger this posed to children going to school.
