The temporary lights in the roadworks at junction 11 of the M23 are phasing incorrectly, according to the AA.

In a statement, a spokesman said there was ‘very slow’ traffic due to a ‘traffic signal failure’ on the A264.

He added: “Traffic lights are stuck on green for the A23 and red for the A264 causing delays.”

One driver told the County Times: “I was furious. It added an extra 45 minutes to a ten minute journey.”

He said there were ‘severe delays’ in the area, particularly up Tollgate Hill.
