Grovehill Junction is a junction in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire. At one time, the junction was a roundabout.[1] [2] It is now a single level junction with 42 traffic lights and is considered to be the UK's craziest junction.[3] [2] The junction is located at .
The earliest recorded history of the junction is that it was a 5 way roundabout.[1]
The roundabout was replaced with a junction having nine crossing points and 20 movements, controlled by 42 traffic lights [3] in February 2015.
Early in October 2015, the lights failed and the traffic was observed to move more freely than with the traffic lights working.[3]
An audit of the junction has stated the junction has more lights than needed.
The junction has been dubbed "The Red Light District".[4]
A German TV station sent a crew to drive around the junction for the amusement of its viewers. Despite the concerns, East Riding of Yorkshire Council states the junction "works well".[4]
