The ASDA Car Park tonight.

The effects of doing that? Gridlock else where with larger implications. The priority is to keep traffic moving on the roads, not to add to the gridlock by prioritising cars trying to get onto the roads.

but at nearly 10pm there isn't much traffic on the roads. the cars waiting to leave asda / retail park sit at a red light watching little or no traffic go along leckwith rd. A properly organised exit plan would see dozens / hundreds of cars leave the area and move onto leckwith rd / link rd in a seemless fashion with little disruption to local traffic still using leckwith rd.

Lights would still be used, but weight them for the traffic leaving the stadium, not the sparce numbers of vehicles passing the area.

The sad thing is, the Police controller could easily do this with a simple phone call

Traffic light management around Cardiff is crap all around the City. I don't know which agency is responsible for it, council or road agency, but there's many lights around and about where you wait for ages at red lights when there's next to no traffic coming the other way.

It needs a big overhaul in my opinion.
