WHAT a delusional idea it is to put traffic lights on slip roads going onto motorways.

During the rush hour the motorway network is predominantly grid-locked and no amount of traffic metering will make an iota of difference.

The cost of this idea will not only be astronomical but do absolutely nothing to alleviate motorway traffic. All it will achieve is anger those travelling around the North-west .

Also, what about the congestion it adds to the already congested A roads?

There really needs to be more thought put into traffic schemes to reduce congestion instead of just moving the problem from one place to another.
