Thank you for contacting Northamptonshire Highways. An engineer had already attended site following the initial report of an issue with the timings. The engineer has found that one of the detectors on St Michaels road has been damaged by utility works and requires replacement. To replace the detector requires the road to be closed for a period to undertake the works as the detectors are cut into the road surface. This is being organised and will be carried out once other road works nearby are complete as we cannot close the road when other roads nearby are also closed. Whilst the detector is faulty the signals will operate under a fixed time sequence which will result in waiting times of up to 1 minute which overnight will appear to be a long time. Following a 2nd report on the 4th January, a specialist engineer has attended site on Tuesday 7th and carried out adjustments to the timing to improve waiting times at different times of the day and reduce them to no more than 30 seconds at night 21:00 – 07:30. Works are being progressed to replace the damaged detector as soon as possible. The signals are monitored by a central monitoring system in the traffic control centre and our team will continue to monitor the operation of the Junction.
