If so, what's the traffic lights for? Have they created new sliproads on the A167?

Yeah. That's it. They've basically undone the work done in the 60s when that was the original Sunderland Road.
No slip roads - its a link between Gateshead High St and Sunderland Road.
The traffic lights are underneath the flyover and is to stop traffic when buses cross the main flow of traffic.

The project ticks so many Gateshead Council boxes.
* Traffic lights.
* White paint thrown around with wild abandon
* Potential for traffic cameras and an income from fines.
