Faulty traffic lights cause extra delays

There was rush hour pandemonium in Dundee after traffic lights stopped working at the junction of East Dock street and West Victoria Dock road.

The lights are believed to have been stuck on red at the busy junction around 4pm on Monday, causing massive tailbacks and confusion.

A Courier photographer at the scene said the lights were being operated manually to help to clear the backlog of traffic.

The junction, just before the Tay Road Bridge, is a key thoroughfare for commuters.
