The ASDA Car Park tonight.

Never mind. At least you didn't lose your car in Canton!

It was ridiculous, not helped by the OB blocking off the exits to let the weeds busses through, then the traffic lights appearing to be stuck on red

Terrible traffic management at the end of games. They need it to be properly controlled with traffic exiting the area given priority and a channel by which to leave the area irrespective of the light colour.

Those lights will deliberately be set to mostly benefit traffic moving along Leckwith Rd so for ages traffic is jammed in the car park when nothing (or very little) is going along Leckwith Rd

The annoying thing is that I left on 90minutes specifically to avoid getting stuck. Wish I’d stayed to the end and had a cofffee in mucky d’s

I go and have a couple of pints in the casino - then drive straight out.

My friend works there, she's always moaning about having to work later on match nights.

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.

In the good old days of policing, a little bit of point duty would help to ease the obvious congestion that the traffic lights were causing.
