Residents say new roundabout with 36 traffic lights is 'ridiculous'
Angry residents have slated a new city centre roundabout with a whopping 36 traffic lights as 'ridiculous' and say it is causing more traffic problems than before. The 'signalised' roundabout on the junction of Milton Road and Elizabeth Way in Cambridge lit up on Tuesday (Oct 8) with a colossal number of lights.

However some critics of the new renovations said the sheer amount of lights means traffic queueing for the roundabout is standing still for a long time.
