So I have sat there and watched the sequence go through 2 or 3 times and each time missing out my lights and yet there was the gap when everyone elses lights were on red which is when mine should be on green.
At the crossroads i keep getting caught out at, my lights aren't part of the normal sequence, they just stay stuck on red whilst the other three carry on regardless and miss it out.
As you say, i too know the sequence off by heart so just time it right then give the throttle a bit of welly and i'm off.
The junction is about a mile from the A40, so traffic will literally back up in a few minutes during rush hour. Add to the fact they've very poorly redesigned the road and pavement a little further on and it becomes an absolute nightmare very quickly, to the point i ride a longer way home now to avoid it all but at least i'm constantly moving.
