Drivers were seen weaving between each other as multiple sets of traffic lights at a busy junction stopped working.
Traffic Lights on East Lancashire Road at the crossroads of Willow Way and North Liverpool Retail Park, in Gillmoss, were completely off on Wednesday (May 11) evening after 5pm. It's unclear why the traffic lights are off and there are no reported power cuts in the area.
Footage taken by the ECHO on the East Lancs shows the traffic lights completely off with traffic diving and weaving between each other as they try to navigate the junction. People can also be seen running across the road trying to get to North Liverpool Retail Park where a Home and Bargain, Food Warehouse and Smyths Toys Superstore are located.

One motorist described the junction being 'scary' with no traffic lights in place, and another said they 'almost saw an accident' on the 'dangerous' road. The junction where the traffic lights are not working is a six lane 40mph carriageway near the Randles Farm Interchange roundabout.
The ECHO understands that a Liverpool Council engineer is en route to work on the issue.
