Angry motorists have blamed traffic lights changing too quickly for daily delays and traffic jams on one of Doncaster’s busiest roads.

Drivers along Balby Road have been left stuck in slow moving traffic in recent days – with traffic lights between Carr Hill and Sandford Road blamed for the jams which have left dozens queuing.

It is understood Doncaster Council has recently altered timings on some of the lights – with drivers saying they only allow a handful of vehicles through before the red light shows again.

Drivers say they have contacted City of Doncaster Council about the problem and are awaiting a response.
