No 4 On roundabouts when there is nothing on the roundabout
As a pedestrian, there are lights for crossing the road between George Square and West Nicholson Street. When the green man comes on, you have about 1.5 seconds to cross the road before the traffic light starts flashing amber, and cars decide anyone still crossing is fair game for car bowling.
Seafield Road.
Two sets at McDonalds and then Seafield Street cause chaos either way when its busy.
The 3 way traffic light system at Newbigging/Pinkie Road in Musselburgh.
If you just miss the green light then you're sat there for what feels like 5 minutes before it's your turn to go.
Years and years ago I was driving in northern Portugal along a road that was dead straight for miles and miles and miles.
Miles in there was a traffic light on the middle of the countryside that had no apparent purpose.
It did though. The red light was tripped if you were speeding. When you stopped at the light a traffic cop appeared from nowhere and fined you!!!
Luckily I was travelling with a local who had warned me so drove on by 😀
The ones with the erse at the front who takes too long to move.
The ones at the Gyle, that they introduced for the Trams. Traffic was bad enough there, without these being added
The lights outside jenners at the Scots monument.....take forever to bloody change
24 hour lights on any roundabout that's necessary 2 hours a day 5 days a week.
My personal bete noir is a series where every light is red. Telford Road to Barnton Roundabout and back. The most painful being the lights at McDonald's on Telford where you wait for 5 minutes and traffic appears from the left.
Morrison Street at Haymarket junction heading West, they can stay red for what seems like 3 or 4 minutes if trams are due.
Remember Milton Road when there were no lights on it at all! Nightmare now. Other than that, What's not to like about traffic lights?

Temporary traffic lights, any.
The crossroads in Kirkliston, if someone is turning right from Main Street down towards Newbridge there isn't enough space to pass on the left. Then there are the temporary lights which just seem to tour the streets of Kirkliston, they're always somewhere.
The Barnton and Maybury junctions, both of those are a complete mess, need to be torn up and start again IMO.
That's the type I meant as well. Inveralmond Roundabout on the outskirts of Perth, lights that are set to allow traffic out of the industrial estate, but then stop them at the next junction means tailbacks that block traffic heading north. also 2 lanes heading south with the majority of traffic heading south leads to queues up to 3 miles in the outside lane.
Let's hope all the relative Authorities read this thread and get their act together.
Aye, right.
Ferry road traffic lights at the junction near golden acre and spiers bar.
Heading from the Leith end towards the pilton end is a pain in the arse if you hit it at the wrong time.
Not lights but I hate Drumbrae roundabout, so many chancers there, nearly been wiped out twice by idiots who don't think they have to stop and give way from the right when coming from the Glasgow rd past the BBQ chippy
I only really drive at night and as they change sequences after a certain time, nobody would know what I'm talking about. You actually get ones that see you coming and turn red just to "slow you down and make things safe" (imagine that being said in a sarcastic, nasally voice)
I'm not sure if you day people ever encounter the ones that turn red and then catch everyone out by instantly turning amber then green. They live on Old Dalkieth Road and Polwarth Terrace and they are annoying.
I walk along Seafield Road to work. All the crossings here are a nightmare as you constantly have cars going through red lights. I can see why people get pissed off as Seafield Road has become noticeably more busy over the last few years, but its not like they're getting anywhere quicker as they're just joining a queue of traffic a wee bit further up the road.
