A lot of the traffic queues on the Gateshead side, are caused by traffic signals.
Coming south over the Tyne Bridge, the traffic is not allowed to flow, due in part to the sequence of lights in Gateshead.
Coming from Gateshead into Newcastle over the Redheugh Bridge, traffic is often at a standstill, due to the sequence of lights up St James Boulevard.
The Heworth roundabout used to flow great - until lights were installed.
In each of those locations, it is possible to be stopped by a red light and nothing coming from another direction.
Low Fell - depending on how unlucky you are, it is possible to hit each and everyone on, on red.
Dreading the drive through Birtley, once it is finished.
Upto 6 sets of lights (including a pedestrian crossing), in less than a mile!
There must be a better alternative.
