Traffic lights in Morecambe which have been causing "dangerous and frustrating" issues for drivers have been fixed, said Lancashire County Council.
Two sets of traffic lights between the McDonalds junction of the A683 Heysham to M6 link road and the B5273 Ovangle Road roundabout were found to be faulty.
A Beyond Radio listener contacted us on Wednesday to say the county council had earlier "dismissed her concerns" about traffic lights which she said "had been operating in a problematic manner".
"Unlike other traffic lights that use sensors to adjust their timings based on actual traffic, these lights run on a fixed sequence at all times of the day," she said.
"This fixed sequence causes the lights to change for vehicles that are not there, leaving actual traffic to stand idle for several minutes, even during the early hours of the morning.
"This unnecessary and random change often results in vehicles having to brake suddenly, which is both dangerous and frustrating for drivers. The sequencing of the lights is also irregular so that sometimes only two or three vehicles can pass through while others stay on green for over a minute.
"I have already reached out to the council via their online fault reporting section, but unfortunately, they have dismissed my concerns, stating that there is no problem.
"However, the current operation of these traffic lights is causing traffic queues throughout the day, and given the high volume of HGV traffic in the area, I believe the resulting vehicle emissions must be reaching unacceptable levels at times."
A spokesman for Lancashire County Council said on Friday: "We asked our traffic signal maintenance contractor to check two sets of traffic lights between the McDonalds junction and the B5273 roundabout and they found there were detector faults at both.
"These have now been fixed so drivers should be moving quicker through this area."
