Grey St & Alexandra Rd junction
What actually happens
Three routes share Grey Street here: the N2, the R63 and the R346. Saturdays bring funeral convoys. Month-end brings everyone.
Why people doubt it
Cameras at junctions mean fines. Smart traffic lights die when the power dies. Then a person in a reflector vest directs the traffic anyway.
Where it could stick
Prediction that serves people, not penalties. A morning voice note to drivers: “Alexandra is blocked until nine.” Traffic officers sent to the right corner on funeral Saturdays.
From the classroom
Count the cars at one corner for ten minutes a day, for a week, and draw the graph. Pay day, the school run and funeral Saturdays show up as peaks.
Imagine
What if the junction learned the town’s rhythm: pay day, the school run, funeral Saturdays?
