Seven Hills Road Intersection
This is the intersection with Seven Hills Road at Kings Langley. This intersection has an interesting history. Back in the 1970s, the then DMR installed traffic signals here, then in the late 80s or early 90s, they were replaced with a roundabout, then the traffic congestion got a point that the roundabout was then installed with signals that operated in periods of high traffic, and then in 2002 or 2003 the RTA installed full-time signals at the intersection again! This image is from October 2005.
