Am I imagining things or are the new traffic lights at the Lordship Lane/Sydenham Hill Junction causing even more problems than usual? It seems that there are now long queues of traffic particularly heading towards Forest Hill all day long.

You are correct. I wait for a bus at the newly run over bus stop outside the Horniman and I see a dreadful queue in the morning. The lights look out of sync and I see traffic traveling towards Dulwich just sitting there as the lights work against them.
