Motorway madness?

SO I see there is going to be traffic lights on the A1(M) slip roads at the two Hatfield junctions.

Now, I’m used to stopping at lights at the end of a slip road when coming off a motorway, but never going on to one.

I can see the slip road becoming a bit like an F1 starting grid, with a line of cars waiting to get the signal to speed off on to the the A1(M).

Traffic at the Oldings roundabout is bad at the best of times and I am also concerned at the effect this measure will have on roads in that area. I will watch this one with interest.
